Gold up .6%, Silver at $32.44 an ounce

ByVictoria

Spot gold was up 0.6% to $3,325.20 an ounce at 1134 GMT. The metal has gained 2.5% so far this week. U.S. gold futures were up 0.8% to $3,334.30.

The dollar index slipped 0.3%, making gold more attractive for holders of other currencies.

“The exaggerated moves (in gold) suggest there is strong buying on the one hand on economic uncertainty, while strong selling is in evidence as some see the higher prices as an opportunity to take profit,” said Ross Norman, an independent analyst.

Elsewhere, spot silver eased 0.2% to $32.44 an ounce, platinum rose 0.6% to $981.94 and palladium climbed 0.4% to $980.15.

    “Any country with gold reserves should be holding at least 11% of that amount in bitcoin reserves,” Armstrong posted to X in response to criticism of Trump’s plan for a national bitcoin reserve. “And I believe in the next five to 10 years bitcoin’s market cap will likely surpass gold. So these reserves should grow to exceed gold.”

    “We’re gonna do something great with crypto because we don’t want China, or anybody else … but others are embracing it, and we want to be ahead,” Trump told CNBC.

    “Current inflation measures, such as consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI), are significantly lower than previous 40-year highs. However, they remain ‘stubborn’ or ‘sticky,’ resisting a return to the central bank’s preferred 2% target,” Fidelity Digital Assets research director Chris Kuiper wrote in a report that asked: “Why is no one talking about stagflation?”—defined as a combination of low economic growth and persistently high inflation.

    Meet the Ultrathin Conductor Set to Replace Copper in Advanced Electronics

    “We are breaking a fundamental bottleneck of traditional materials like copper,” said Asir Intisar Khan, who received his doctorate from Stanford and is now a visiting postdoctoral scholar and first author on the paper. “Our niobium phosphide conductors show that it’s possible to send faster, more efficient signals through ultrathin wires. This could improve the energy efficiency of future chips, and even small gains add up when many chips are used, such as in the massive data centers that store and process information today.”
