Silver prices rose as risk sentiment improved in the market after signs emerged that the US government shutdown was nearing an end. These hopes pushed the US dollar slightly lower and increased interest in precious metals, including silver, which often benefit when political uncertainty eases. However, silver's gains were restrained by the prospect of the Fed's interest rates remaining high in the near term. Investors are now awaiting clarity on the direction of US monetary policy after economic data was delayed due to the shutdown. If the dollar strengthens again or bond yields rise,...
Brent oil continued to weaken on Tuesday (October 28th) due to two main pressures converging: global supply appears loose, while geopolitical risks have eased somewhat. On the supply side, market concerns remain about a large surplus due to high production from major producers and signals that OPEC+ is ready to ease output cuts, leading to concerns about stockpiles building up in the coming months. On the risk side, tensions in the Middle East have begun to ease following progress toward a ceasefire, diminishing the "fear premium" that typically keeps oil prices high. The combination of...
Gold remained weak on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, moving below $4,000 per ounce, around $3,970-$4,020, after dropping to a nearly three-week low. Selling pressure came as the market grew more optimistic about the potential for a US-China trade deal to be discussed directly by Trump and Xi, leading to a decline in safe-haven assets like gold, and investors shifting to riskier assets. Technically, gold's failure to hold above $4,000 also triggered profit-taking. However, this doesn't mean the gold trend is over. The market is almost certain the Fed will cut interest rates by another 25 basis...
Silver remained weak on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, after falling to the $46-$48 per ounce range. Selling pressure arose because the global market was risk-on: sentiment regarding the US-China trade deal has caused investors to seek less safe-haven assets like silver and instead invest more in stocks and riskier assets. Profit-taking after the previous price surge also hindered silver's rapid rise. However, fundamentally, silver is not yet completely bearish. Expectations of a Fed rate cut remain supportive, as lower interest rates are generally good for precious metals. Furthermore, silver...
Silver fell to around $48 per ounce, continuing its correction after falling more than 6% last week. Safe-haven sentiment weakened as the market grew more confident that US-China trade relations would ease ahead of the Trump-Xi meeting. The US said 100% tariffs were almost certainly canceled, and China was prepared to withhold rare earth exports for a year. As global tensions eased, hedging interest also declined. At the same time, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates this week after US inflation data softened. Lower interest rates are usually good for precious metals like silver...
Gold is under pressure again as global markets enter risk-on mode. Signals of peace on the US-China trade front have reduced investors' need for safe haven assets, leading to a correction in gold prices after a major rally. However, this is more of a relief trade deal than a complete bearish one, as gold's annual price remains high, and government debt, currency weakness, and central bank purchases remain key drivers. Going forward, the key focus will be on the Fed's interest rate. If the Fed cuts interest rates, this would be bullish for gold, as holding gold becomes cheaper than holding...
