Honestly considering how high

Honestly considering how high it jumped, that was an anomaly, likely hinting that the rally will still continue.

If anything, it seems like the world has fully bought into the idea that the turbulence will not go away quietly, especially with the us president wanting to stick his fingers in the pies of friends and foes alike. The trend of seeking refuge in precious metals will continue.

I seriously worry for the industrial application side of silver, specifically for solar panels as there will be no suitable substitute, despite claims of looking for viable substitutes among common metals. Solar panel prices dropping over the years, has been a accelerant for a greener and more sustainable future, but is now threatened by the volatility of the world.

How ironic that the us president is a climate change denier, and his actions has gone full circle to impact an arm that helps to combat it. Truly a genius at causing chaos and destruction.

CME Hikes Margin as Silver Crashes: Is the Selloff Over?

Silver tumbled over 16%, erasing the past two days’ rebound, before bouncing from around $65. Gold fell less, down up to 3.5%. The key catalyst: CME margin hikes—gold margins raised to 9%, silver to 18%, effective after Feb 6 close. Higher margins force deleveraging, often extending volatility short term, especially for silver’s thinner liquidity. Gold’s smaller drawdown suggests relative resilience as leveraged positions unwind elsewhere. Will margin-driven selling push silver lower before stabilizing? Is silver still a 2026 bull story or a high-volatility trade only?

He is a truly narcissist and businessman, rather than doing things to combat the climate change or not. Never a concern to him.
