- Can silver recover from its latest sell-off? UBS weighs in
UBS says silver faces near-term volatility from central bank policy pressure but still sees a constructive medium-term outlook, forecasting prices to rise from $55.90 an ounce on Oct. 22 to $70.00 by December 2026, $75.00 by mid-2027 and $80.00 by September 2027. Demand from AI infrastructure, data centers, grid investment and automotive electronics is expected to offset a roughly 2% contraction in 2026 industrial fabrication demand forecast by the Silver Institute, as high prices accelerate substitution in solar. Because most silver is mined as a byproduct of other metals, supply growth stays rigid, and UBS projects a sixth consecutive annual deficit in 2026. It suggests a selective approach, using pullbacks tied to interest rate expectations to build exposure, and names prolonged rate hikes, a sharper global slowdown and faster industrial substitution as the main downside risks.
- Festive cheer for buyers as silver dips below Rs 2 lakh / kg on MCX
Silver fell below 2 lakh rupees per kg on the MCX on October 23, with the December futures contract down over 1.7% to around 1,95,800 to 1,96,170 rupees per kg. The main causes were a heavy sell-off in global technology and AI stocks, which forced institutional investors to liquidate precious metals to cover losses elsewhere, along with inflation worries from high crude oil prices and a stronger US dollar weighing on industrial demand. Silver hit an all-time high of 4,20,048 rupees per kg on the MCX in January 2026. GJC Chairman Rajesh Rokde said the drop gives festive buyers substantial relief on silver ornaments, coins and utensils, and local jewellers in Nagpur report rising footfall and advance inquiries ahead of Dhanteras and Diwali.

- Silver price today, Wednesday, October 21, 2026: Silver prices showing more resilience than gold
Silver December futures opened at $58.15 per ounce on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, up 0.3% from Tuesday's open, but had slipped to $57.68 by 7:00 a.m. ET. Compared with a week earlier, the opening price was up 2.5%; it was down 12.5% from a month earlier and up 14.5% from a year earlier. The article says silver is in a better position than gold this morning, as gold's open was lower than its level one week, one month and one year earlier. It notes that silver's industrial demand, used in solar panels, electronics and medical devices, can make its prices move more sharply than gold, which is viewed as a store of value.

Latest news
- Stock-Split Watch: Is Palantir Next?
Palantir stock has gained about 13.5%, and roughly 714% over the past five years, while the S&P 500 rose 70.5% over the same five-year period. The shares trade near $200, and the author says that level is not yet likely to prompt a split, though a move toward $500 that holds would make one more likely. Palantir has never split its stock in the roughly six years it has been publicly traded. In its Q2 report published in August, sales rose 93% year over year to $1.935 billion, and non-GAAP adjusted operating income reached $1.194 billion, a 62% margin. The author argues the company does not need a split to lift its valuation, and that its sales growth and margins could continue to support the stock's upward momentum.
- Why Is Solana Worth About 17 Times More Than Sui?
Solana's market value is about $59.8 billion, roughly 15.3 times Sui's $3.9 billion. Both are high-speed layer 1 blockchains, and the market ranks Solana seventh by market cap versus Sui at 30th. Sui rose 25.7% over 60 days while SOL rose 5.8%, but Sui then fell 15.5% over 14 days to around $0.95. On a fully diluted basis, which counts all possible tokens, the gap narrows to about 6.8 times ($64.4 billion versus $9.5 billion), since only 41.2% of Sui's maximum 10 billion supply is circulating versus 92.7% of Solana's. U.S. spot Solana ETFs held about $1.61 billion in net assets as of October 22, 2026, though inflows have reversed from a peak, while the 21Shares Sui Staking ETF began trading on February 24, 2026, and SUI has dropped 32.1% in 2026.
- Forget Casgevy: CRISPR Therapeutics' Heart-Disease Data Could Matter More
CRISPR Therapeutics developed Casgevy, the first approved therapy using the CRISPR gene-editing technique in 2023, and shares its rights with Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). The article argues that the investigational CTX310, which targets high LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, could matter more to the company's future as a possible one-time option, since more than 40 million U.S. patients have high LDL or TG levels versus about 60,000 addressable patients for Casgevy. In a Phase 1a trial reported in August, the highest dose cut mean TG by 48% and mean LDL by 53% in patients with certain genetic conditions, and Phase 1b data are due in early November. Risks include clinical and regulatory setbacks, high prices and difficult administration. The author views the company as fairly attractive, but only for investors comfortable with significant risk and volatility.

- Nvidia and 3 AI Infrastructure Stocks Backed by Hyperscaler Data Center Spending
The article argues that AI data centers are drawing heavy capital, with Nvidia and Broadcom already reporting triple-digit gains in data center and AI chip revenue. It highlights Marvell Technology, which designs integrated circuits for cloud and AI infrastructure, generating about US$9.5b a year with a market value near US$196b; NVIDIA made a US$2B equity investment in Marvell on March 31, 2026 via NVLink Fusion. Lumentum Holdings supplies optical hardware linking AI data center clusters, with its Integrated Enterprise segment generating about US$3.0b in revenue and the business valued near US$68.2b. Quanta Computer builds cloud servers for hyperscalers, with its electronics division posting about NT$6,197.5b in segment revenue and the group valued around NT$1,241.2b; the article notes that ramping the next-generation GB300 AI server platform is expected to accelerate AI server shipments in late 2025 and 2026.
