Silver prices are currently trading above $74.49 per ounce in the US session on Friday (December 26th), extending a remarkable rally that began several months ago, fueled by geopolitical tensions and a weakening US dollar. This surge was fueled by continued speculation, supply dislocations in major trading centers, and a large influx of funds into silver-backed ETFs. Rising demand, from both the investment and industrial sectors, has made silver a leading choice amidst the global economy.Silver is also supported by fundamental factors such as rising geopolitical tensions and concerns about...
Gold prices are likely to strengthen on December 16, 2025, as global investors become increasingly cautious. Pressure on Wall Street and the weakening of technology stocks, particularly the artificial intelligence sector, have prompted market participants to reduce risk and shift to safe-haven assets like gold. This sentiment was also reflected in Asian markets, which opened mixed, with some indices weakening. Furthermore, the less-than-solid US dollar has provided room for gold to maintain its high levels. Uncertainty regarding central bank policy direction and the release of important...
Brent is hovering around $60/barrel in the Asian session, but the market is still holding its breath. The $60 area is a psychological level: if buyers are strong, there's usually a small technical bounce. However, if risk-off sentiment and supply feel tight, prices can easily "drop" and continue to weaken.The most influential narrative now remains the supply vs. demand narrative: the supply side remains heavy (OPEC+ and global supply), while on the demand side, the market is awaiting signals from major economic data (US/China) and geopolitical headlines.

Silver prices rose on Monday (December 15th), boosted by a weaker US dollar and falling US bond yields. Spot silver rose 3% after recently hitting a record $64.65/oz. Fundamentally, the silver rally is still supported by a combination of a supply squeeze and industrial demand (e.g., the technology and energy sectors), coupled with sentiment toward more metal-friendly monetary policy. However, the market is also starting to be wary of the risk of "overheating" (high valuations and potential profit-taking), especially if news of tariff policies emerges that alleviate supply concerns.

Gold prices rose on Monday (December 15) as the US dollar weakened and US bond yields fell, making gold (a non-interest-bearing asset) more attractive. Fundamentally, market participants are pricing in the prospect of lower interest rates after the Fed recently cut rates by 25 basis points. Meanwhile, the next focus will be on the release of US data (especially Non-Farm Payrolls). If employment data is weak, expectations of further easing will usually grow, which could be an additional boost for gold. (alg) Source: Newsmaker.id
Silver prices remain at high levels after a strong rally in recent weeks. This increase is supported by expectations of lower interest rates, a weakening dollar, and solid industrial demand from the solar panel, electronics, and electric vehicle sectors. Silver's combined function as an industrial metal and a hedge makes it a sought-after asset for many investors. However, after a sharp surge, silver is now more vulnerable to corrections if there are even minor negative triggers, such as strong US economic data or hawkish comments from central banks. Profit-taking could quickly depress...
