Gold-Silver Ratio Hits 100:1 – A Historic Buying Signal for Silver 
The US economy contracted by 0.2% in the first quarter of 2025, slightly better than the initially reported 0.3% decline.
Consumer spending, which drives most economic growth, increased only 1.2% – the weakest pace in nearly two years.
The main drag on the economy came from trade, with net exports subtracting a record 5 percentage points from GDP as businesses rushed to import goods ahead of potential tariffs.
Corporate profits fell 2.9%, the largest drop since 2020. While some tariffs have been delayed or blocked, economists expect growth to rebound in the second quarter as import levels normalize.
