Trump indicated on Tuesday that he was considering a 10% tariff on Chinese imports starting Feb. 1, just one day after threatening Mexico and Canada with tariffs of around 25%. However, with no action taken, there is hope that the administration could take a more cautious stance on tariffs. Silver also remains supported by expectations of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year, which could...
