The precious metals market has spent the past several months undergoing a sharp reset. Following an explosive rally that took gold, and not least silver, to fresh record highs, both metals have since corrected – not because their long-term fundamentals have materially weakened, but because the macro backdrop has shifted abruptly in the wake of […]
U.S. Markets Today, US indices are trading flat, with SPX holding above $7,150 and NDX just above $27,303. Iran submitted a new ceasefire proposal via Pakistani mediators, offering to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while deferring nuclear talks until the US lifts its blockade. The whipsaw mirrors Friday’s pattern — geopolitics is now the dominant […]

U.S. Markets A fragile ceasefire, followed by the failure of the peace talks over the weekend, has sparked fresh volatility in global markets. In today’s session, the S&P 500 is down by almost 0.75% after Trump said US forces will begin clearing any mines in the Strait and will implement a blockade. This has further increased concerns […]
US Markets  During yesterday’s session, the S&P 500 climbed 2.51%, and the Nasdaq 100 popped 2.8%.

Gold’s recent correction has challenged the widely held perception of bullion as a reliable safe haven during times of geopolitical stress.

At the core of the […]

However, the broader backdrop remains
