Silver’s All-Time High Sets the Stage: Will Gold Reclaim $4,400 This Month?
$iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$ Silver has surged to a historic new high, decisively breaking past the peak set during October’s dramatic short squeeze in the London market. Gold, too, has staged a powerful breakout from its multi-month consolidation range, lifting sentiment across the precious-metals complex. With global rate-cut expectations accelerating and investors bracing for a winter of slower growth, traders are now asking the critical question: Can gold reclaim $4,400 in December? And perhaps more importantly—does silver’s record-setting rally carry bullish implications for the broader metals market? The final month of the year is often a pivotal period for precious metals. December historically coincides with seasonal investment flows, a soft
🏛️Trump Teases Fed Change: How to Judge Powell & What Hassett Means for Markets
When it comes to clues about the next Federal Reserve Chair, the latest signal didn’t come from insiders or leaks — it came from the one person who never minds sending signals himself: Donald Trump.In a recent appearance, Trump said he would announce his pick for the next Fed Chair “early next year.” He didn’t spell it out, but markets took it as a strong hint toward Kevin Hassett — the current NEC Director and a long-time advocate of aggressive rate cuts, who has quickly become the frontrunner in public speculation.Meanwhile, current Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s term runs until May 2026.This makes it a fitting moment to look back:How did Powell actually perform during one of the most turbulent periods in modern economic history?Why are reviews of him always “mixed but respectable”?And if Kev

Today, both A-shares and Hong Kong stocks fell, and the decline of Hong Kong stocks was significantly higher than that of A-shares. The Shanghai Composite Index closed at 3878.0 points, down 0.51%, and the Shenzhen Component Index closed at 12955.25 points, down 0.78%. Transactions in the two cities were active, but lacked upward breakthrough momentum. In terms of sectors, technology and consumer stocks performed weakly, and some heavyweights dragged down the index.Hong Kong stocks were under even more obvious pressure. The Hang Seng Index fell 1.28% to close at 25,760.73 points, and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index fell 1.68% to close at 9028.55 points. The 26,000-point integer mark failed to be held, and the short-term technical aspect was under pressure. H50 futures fell by more th
If SGX lowers its IPO entry requirements, I’d be more open to subscribing. After years of a “quiet” market, this year’s strong rebound — with Singapore leading Southeast Asia and delivering solid post-IPO returns — makes participation more appealing for retail investors like me. I generally prefer REITs and data-center listings because they offer clearer income visibility and stable demand. Tech IPOs are interesting, but I’m more selective given their volatility and the smaller size of Singapore’s tech ecosystem. I also think MAS’s reforms can help attract more global capital. Smaller lot sizes improve accessibility, strong asset managers add institutional depth, and the Value Discovery Programme boosts governance and transparency. Together, these steps make SGX’s IPO market more attracti
I've been watching this breakout in precious metals very closely, and silver hitting a fresh all-time high is a big deal. It usually moves more violently than gold, so when silver leads, it often signals that the momentum behind the metals trade is strengthening, not fading. To me, this kind of leadership suggests the bull trend still has room to run. Gold pushing toward the $4,300 level also fits the macro environment. With rate-cut expectations heating up again and real yields easing, the setup for gold is much more supportive than it was a few weeks ago. Every time the market leans dovish, gold reacts immediately — which tells me buyers are still in control. As for whether gold can reclaim or even break above $4,400 in December, I think it's definitely possible. We're entering a seasona
How the BoJ’s Policy Shift Sparked Bitcoin’s Selloff and a Gold–Silver Surge?What Strategy Fits Now
This week, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda delivered his clearest signal so far that the BoJ is likely to raise rates this month. He indicated that the policy board may lift rates soon and specifically emphasized the possibility of taking action at the December BoJ meeting. At the same time, both the Finance Minister and the Economic and Growth Strategy Minister refrained from expressing any opposition, and this shift in stance has driven the implied probability of a December hike in Japan’s interest-rate derivatives market up to more than 80 percent at one point, making it almost a foregone conclusion.More importantly, expectations for this BoJ hike are quietly reshaping the global liquidity landscape and have a high likelihood of triggering broad, cross‑asset volatility in the near ter
Bitcoin's quick rebound toward the $89K resistance definitely caught my attention. After the recent volatility, seeing BTC push back to this level shows that buyers are still very active, and sentiment hasn't been completely shaken. For me, the key question now is whether this bounce is driven by genuine accumulation or just short-term positioning before the next big move. What really stands out is how U.S. crypto-related stocks reacted. With BMNR $BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc.(BMNR)$ and MSTR $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ jumping more than 6%, and CRCL $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ up nearly 3%, the equity side is clearly pricing
The market's rebound on the second trading day of December definitely lifted the mood. After yesterday's dip, seeing all three major U.S. indices open higher tells me that sentiment is still resilient. To me, this kind of quick recovery reflects a market that wants to stay bullish, especially with rate-cut expectations and year-end positioning in play. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ $DJIA(.DJI)$ $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ As for whether December will once again "start low and finish strong," I do think the setup is there. Historically, seasonality favors the bulls, and th
Equities Rebound as Risk Signals Turn Green U.S. equities regained their footing on Tuesday as investors cautiously rotated back into riskier assets. The $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ rose 0.6%, outperforming the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ (+0.3%) and the Dow Jones (+0.4%), reversing the hesitant tone that marked the start of December. Index The session’s leadership came from the higher-beta corners of the market: tech, momentum, and risk-focused ETFs. Meanwhile, traditionally defensive segments such as value, dividends, and low volatility lagged, underscoring a renewed, though still fragile, risk appetite. The shift aligned with broader sentiment improvements following last week’s run-up and a temporary pause early this w
