Like you, we have been watching in real time as a new and deeply unsettling chapter of instability unfolds in the Middle East. Over the past several days, a major conflict has erupted between the United States, Israel and Iran, broadening into strikes across the region that have closed strategic waterways, hit diplomatic posts, and […]
Yesterday, silver briefly pushed toward $92/oz, a level that traders had been watching closely. Momentum was building and the market was approaching a key delivery period in the futures calendar. And then CME Group halted metals and natural gas trading. Orders were cancelled, the market paused and when it reopened the upward pressure had faded. […]
This week marked four years since the outbreak of the Russia–Ukraine war. On the same day, fresh statements emerged from Moscow that suggest tensions are not easing but hardening. Reports carried by Russian state media referenced alleged discussions around nuclear components and potential attacks on energy infrastructure. Whether these claims prove material or rhetorical, they […]
Recent movements in the silver market have once again reminded investors that this is not a passive or predictable asset. Headlines can feel urgent. And when volatility intensifies, it becomes easy to focus on the immediate move rather than the broader structure beneath it. That reaction is natural.

The move appears driven by short-term profit taking and position-adjusting ahead of a heavy run of U.S. economic data, rather than any sudden deterioration in fundamentals. Traders are clearly cautious ahead of tomorrow’s U.S. jobs report, which includes annual revisions […]
