Gold-Silver Ratio Hits 100:1 – A Historic Buying Signal for Silver 
A cease-fire agreement between Israel and Iran has been reached following 12 days of unprecedented direct conflict between the two nations. The deal, announced by President Trump who helped broker it, has been met with guarded optimism from world leaders. However, concerns about the agreement’s durability emerged quickly, as both countries accused each other of violations shortly after the cease-fire went into effect.
International reactions have been measured, with leaders acknowledging both the positive development and the fragility of the situation. President Macron of France noted the situation remains “volatile and unstable,” while Qatar’s prime minister described the cease-fire as being in a “gray area.” Russia welcomed the news through Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov, while Germany’s Chancellor Merz urged both parties to respect the agreement. The European Union emphasized the need for Iran to engage in credible diplomatic processes, and several leaders stressed the importance of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
