Silver prices have been more than halved since the January high but last week saw a key trendline come into play as bulls grasp to hold the $60 handle for the metal.

The dual intervention was more than two months ago and since we’ve heard multiple comments from both the US and Japan to try to guide the USD/JPY spot rate lower. Markets appear to be calling that bluff.

It was a strong sell-off to start the week in gold and despite a Tuesday bounce, sellers are continuing to push following a resistance hit at the $4200 level.

The headlines seem negative in almost any place that you look, with surging Treasury yields and frothy AI valuations getting more and more attention. But, if it’s so bad, why hasn’t the Nasdaq melted down yet, even as the Fed has started hiking rates?
