Silver has broken below $50/ounce and is weakening more than gold, with prices hitting the lowest levels since the start of the year. A Metals Focus report expects the market to shift from deficit to surplus in 2027, as inventories rise and jewelry and industrial demand slow; high prices and efforts to use less silver, especially in solar panels, also weigh on demand. Interest rates add pressure: the Fed held rates in October but signaled readiness to tighten further, markets price an 80% chance of a 25 basis point hike in December, and rising yields reduce the appeal of precious metals. London vault stocks reached 932 million ounces, with about 267 million ounces available for trading excluding ETP holdings, nearly double the October 2025 low, as silver held in ETPs fell by about 60 million ounces this year. The report says silver will likely keep following gold over the next 12 months, and the outlook could change if expectations of tighter monetary policy in 2027 ease.

- Silver Is Down 17% in a Month. Here's My Prediction for What's Ahead for the Precious Metal.
Silver's spot price has fallen 17% over the past month to about $54 per troy ounce, after hitting a record $121.67 on January 29, 2026. This year, inflation led many industrial manufacturers, especially solar panel makers, to cut spending and shift to less silver or copper, while the Fed held rates steady for most of the year before raising them in September for the first time in three years, strengthening the U.S. dollar. According to the Silver Institute and Metals Focus, the supply deficit could widen from 40.3 million ounces in 2025 to 46.3 million ounces in 2026, the sixth straight year of shortfall. About 74% of silver is produced as a byproduct of mining lead, zinc, copper and gold, which limits how quickly output can rise. JPMorgan sees silver at $63 and UBS at $70 by the end of 2026.
- Gold Coins vs. Silver Coins: Which Has Accumulated More Value Since 2020?
Gold and silver prices have pulled back from the all-time highs set in early 2026 but remain well above their levels at the start of the decade. Coin values depend on more than spot price, including type (bullion, certified, proof or uncirculated), size, professional grade and metal content. Spot gold rose from $1,520.55 per ounce in January 2020 to $4,154.30 in October 2026, about 173%, while spot silver climbed from $18.01 to $60.39, about 235%. In dollar terms, gold has accumulated more value: an ounce bought in January 2020 would have gained about $2,634, whereas silver would have needed about 65 ounces to match that profit.
- What Investors Got Wrong Before Wheaton Precious Metals' Rally
Wheaton Precious Metals shares, which cost CA$136 at the start of the period, now trade at CA$173 after a 26.7% return over the past year including dividends. Before the rally, the bullish view put fair value at CA$150 based on 12.3% revenue growth, while the cautious view put it at CA$126 due to concerns about weaker long-term precious metals demand. Q2 2026 revenue was US$929.2 million and net income was US$543.2 million, with net margin edging up to 58.5%, though falling precious metal prices in parts of 2026 kept commodity risk in focus. The article also highlights the largest silver stream in the company's history. It concludes that the current price depends on whether these larger, high-quality streams can support long-term cash generation above what the share price implies.
- Weekly review of Azerbaijan precious metals market
Azerbaijan's gold price per troy ounce fell 35.3 manat ($20.7), or 0.5%, between October 12 and 16, but its weekly average rose 0.8% to 7,098 manat ($4,180). Silver's weekly price dropped 5.3%, and its average fell 2.6% to 100.2 manat ($58.9). Platinum's weekly price declined 3.3%, with its average down 1.7% to 2,827 manat ($1,660). Palladium's weekly price fell 1.3%, and its average declined 1.8% to 1,936 manat ($1,140). Figures are Trend's calculations based on Central Bank of Azerbaijan data.
- Gold Falls Nearly 4%, Silver Loses 6% as Big Players Buy the Dip
Spot gold dipped to 3,870 USD/ounce before trading near 3,874 USD/ounce, down more than 146 USD (about 3.6%) in one session and at its lowest level in over a year. Silver fell more than 3 USD (nearly 6%) to around 49 USD/ounce, touching 48.7 USD intraday. Even as prices fell, SPDR Gold Trust bought 0.57 tonnes of gold, lifting holdings to 1,041.65 tonnes, and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) added 103.85 tonnes of silver, bringing its holdings to about 15,650 tonnes. The slide came as markets reassessed Fed policy: the Fed held rates at 3.75-4.00%, but two FOMC members backed a 25 basis-point hike, while stronger-than-expected US third-quarter GDP growth of 3.4% and elevated core inflation kept expectations for tighter policy for longer. Higher oil prices from tensions with Iran add to inflation risks, so high-rate expectations could weigh on gold in the short term, though some investors see deep pullbacks as chances to accumulate for the long term.
- Global gold falls nearly 3% to one-year low
Spot gold fell 2.7% to USD 3,910.53 per ounce on October 30, its lowest since October 2025, while spot silver dropped 5.8% to USD 49.34, falling below USD 50 for the first time since November 2025. Gold is down 5.9% since the start of the month, its second straight monthly decline. Rising energy prices and persistent inflation worries reinforce expectations that US rates will stay high for longer, with the Fed and ECB both warning of inflation risks and US inflation picking up in September. Commerzbank said a sharp tech-stock sell-off may have forced some investors to sell assets to meet margin calls or cut leverage. Physical demand in India and China remained weak.

Latest news
- Prediction: This Will Be Palantir's Stock Price by the End of 2027
Palantir's shares are up almost 700% over five years, but its rally has slowed over the past 12 months. Demand for its AI-powered data analytics has been strong: second-quarter revenue rose 93% year over year to $1.94 billion, with U.S. commercial clients up 149%. The company does not build its own AI models and works with third-party APIs, while its work with government clients such as the CIA, NATO and the Department of Defense may support its security reputation. The article cites a forward P/E of 89 versus the S&P 500 average of 19 as a key concern, along with political risks such as its work with ICE. Assuming a return near the S&P 500's roughly 10% annual average, it estimates a price around $216 by end-2027 from $197 on Oct. 29, and suggests investors may wait for a cheaper price before taking a large position.
- Many Pharmaceutical Companies Face Banks Tightening Debt Collection
Several pharmaceutical companies are facing banks seizing collateral, including inventory, machinery, factories and real estate, to recover debts. VietinBank Hà Giang is selecting an auction organization to handle the debt of over 33.51 billion VND owed by CTCP TW 65 as of 21/10/2026, comprising principal of nearly 29.85 billion VND, accrued interest of over 3.09 billion VND and penalty interest of about 572 million VND. BAMC has announced the seizure of several assets of CTCP Dược liệu Việt Nam to settle debt with BIDV Hà Nội, including an 8,256.8 m² site in Phú Thọ housing a GMP-WHO factory and drug production lines, a 977.2 m² plot in Đà Nẵng, a 591.3 m² plot in Đồng Nai and a villa at Vinhomes Riverside in Hà Nội. For CTCP Dược Y Đức, the bank requested asset handover from 11/9/2026, but the parties had not complied, and two Hà Nội properties were placed under seizure. Separately, a 130.5 m² plot in Vinh City, Nghệ An, securing a loan of CTCP Vitamec, is being auctioned at BIDV Hùng Vương.
- 1 Big Winner and 1 Loser From the Upcoming Anthropic IPO
Reports suggest Anthropic's upcoming IPO could beat the record for the largest in history. The author expects Broadcom to benefit, as Anthropic reportedly plans major AI infrastructure build-outs and has a five-year agreement worth $161.2 billion for TPU-based compute capacity with Broadcom. Broadcom projects $115 billion in AI revenue for fiscal 2027 and $230 billion for fiscal 2028, though a growing AI chip share could lower gross margins. In contrast, Recursion Pharmaceuticals, founded in 2013, still has no drug on the market, and Anthropic, which says nine of the 10 largest pharma companies are among its clients, could erode its AI drug-discovery edge. The author finds Recursion's stock unattractive given clinical and regulatory uncertainty.
- After Eli Lilly’s Explosive Earnings Report, Is It Too Late to Buy the Stock?
Eli Lilly reported third-quarter revenue up 39% to more than $24 billion, driven mainly by its weight loss portfolio. Mounjaro sales rose 65% to over $10 billion and Zepbound climbed 49% to $5.3 billion, while 40% of new patients starting an oral obesity medicine chose Foundayo. Lilly holds 63% of the U.S. market, and the stock is trading at a record high above $1,300, at 42x forward earnings estimates versus more than 70x in 2024. The article argues the weight loss market still has room to expand, since only 3% to 10% of potential U.S. patients access weight loss care, and that late-stage candidates such as retatrutide add to the growth outlook.
- Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang Reportedly Targeted In Chinese Espionage Plot
Reports say Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was targeted in an alleged Chinese espionage plot. The reported operation has prompted fresh questions from US lawmakers about potential security vulnerabilities in Nvidia's AI chip development. Regulators and legislators are weighing the incident against existing restrictions on Nvidia's advanced AI chip exports to China. The article argues the episode could reinforce Washington's view of Nvidia as critical AI infrastructure, while also potentially hardening support for stricter licensing and oversight of where its top-end platforms are deployed, which could cap part of the addressable market.
- Shopify Stock Is More Than 10% Below Its Record. Should You Buy Before Its Nov. 3 Report?
Shopify (SHOP) closed at a record $179.22 on Oct. 12 but now trades about 12% below that level, including a roughly 6% drop on Friday. The e-commerce software company reports third-quarter results before the market opens on Nov. 3, after management set guidance in August for revenue growth in the low thirties, gross profit growth in the mid-to-high 20s and a free cash flow margin in the high teens to low 20s. The author notes Shopify has met or beaten its guidance all year, with revenue growth of 34% in both the first and second quarters, though the third quarter faces a tougher comparison. Shares fell about 16% on May 5 even though first-quarter revenue growth beat the outlook, and rose about 17% after the August report, suggesting investors judge more than guidance beats. At roughly 86 times trailing free cash flow, the author argues the drop does not change much and prefers to wait for the report and see where shares settle afterward.
