Gold inched higher on Thursday in holiday-thinned trade, as investors focused on the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate strategy and anticipated tariff policies under President-elect Donald Trump, both of which could influence the metal’s direction in the coming year.

In a recent interview with Liberty and Finance, the esteemed precious metals analyst David Morgan, widely known as the “Silver Guru,” delivered a compelling analysis suggesting that silver prices are on the cusp of a significant surge. Drawing upon his extensive knowledge of the precious metals market, Morgan highlighted the current lack of substantial upside resistance for silver, hinting at a potential rapid upward movement that has yet to materialize fully.
“I mean, we’re high enough in the silver price for it to have very little upside resistance and to be able to just move, move, and move some more, and it hasn’t started yet.”
Morgan believes that broader market dynamics and the inherent appeal of silver as a monetary and industrial metal will eventually draw them back in.

The one-of-a-kind 18-carat gold toilet was swiped in under five minutes from Blenheim Palace, the sprawling English country mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born, in the predawn hours of September 14, 2019, a prosecutor told jurors Monday.
The toilet has never been recovered but is believed to have been cut up and sold.
All the defendants have pleaded not guilty.

I thought this was interesting and thought I’d share. I’m not entirely surprised that something was stolen I am surprised that the burglars got away with the darn thing! I feel like this is actually kinda funny but hopefully justice will be served. – V.
While no official tariff has been imposed, the price gap between the CME and London Metal Exchange (LME) contracts has widened sharply, with CME copper trading at a premium exceeding $1,000 per metric ton. This suggests the market is pricing in at least a 10% tariff, though a 25% duty, similar to those on aluminum and steel, remains a possibility.

Gold prices rallied on Tuesday, regaining ground after a slight pullback at the start of March. Spot gold was up 0.4%, reaching $2,900.78 an ounce as of 7:30 AM UTC. The rally was supported by a weakening US dollar spot index that has dropped to 103.5, a 24-hour 0.2% downtick.
Gold’s more “resilient” performance against the dollar is giving investors more incentives to turn against Bitcoin, with its price falling by more than $15,400 over the past month.
“Now that Bitcoin fell below $77K, it’s down 30% from its January record high,” Schiff posted on X. “It’s hard to see the rationale for the U.S. government holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset when it can lose that much market value so quickly. The rationale will be even harder to see when it’s down 50%.”

Vizsla Silver Corp. (VZLA) appears an attractive pick, as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). An upward trend in earnings estimates — one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices — has triggered this rating change.
The Zacks rating relies solely on a company’s changing earnings picture. It tracks EPS estimates for the current and following years from the sell-side analysts covering the stock through a consensus measure — the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
For Vizsla Silver Corp., rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company’s underlying business. And investors’ appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
