Why Silver Often Moves More Than Gold

Silver has outpaced gold recently because:

Its market is smaller and more volatile — short-term flows can move prices more dramatically.

Industrial demand growth (especially for solar and EVs) is proportionally larger for silver than gold

Investment interest often follows gold’s trend, but silver amplifies that move due to its dual demand drivers

Overbought? Yes by any measure but trying to pick a top has been a painful if not fatal strategy.

Mark Carney’s Canada , Xi’s China and Trump’s USA

Mark … lets pissoff Donald. How ?

China to offer canola relief for easing EV curbs during Carney visit

Ottawa hopes to make progress on easing trade frictions, but played down the prospect of a quick deal on EVs

To what extent? How about Donald squeezing Carney’s head ?

Trump says USMCA is irrelevant for US | Reuters

US500 4 HOUR CHART

• The pause below7000 (new record high at 6997) either sets this level up as an inviting target or one that could cause a stall if not taken out.
• Key supports 6910. 6883 and the trendline.

In any case, fasten your seat belts for some volatility if SCOTUs announces its tariff decision on Wednesday.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Stocks – AMD

Very nice bounce from Uptrend support line at 215.00

Now it is important to reach above 226.00 to be able to renew a bullish sentiment.

Watch it in next 48h…

[Belgrade Bobby]

Opendoor Technologies Inc. Stocks – OPEN

Support at 6.65 holding.

Open has to go above 7.65 and stays above it this time…

In the case it manages to do so, road would be open for 14.85

6.10 last line of defence at the bottom side

XRPUSD

So far, so good…Ripple is respecting that declination line acting as a support….for now

As long as it stays above 2.0000 it is going to be in a position to attack that 2.1200 & 2.1500 resistances and threaten to reach above 2.4000 on the way towards 2.7445
