Two Things Are Hitting Gold Simultaneously. Only One of Them Is About Gold.

Gold and silver are under pressure from two directions at once: chip stocks dragging metals down through forced liquidation, and Friday’s PCE print keeping buyers on the sidelines. Here’s the mechanism.

Why Is Silver Down 5%? The Gold-Silver Ratio Explains.

Gold is down 1.7% today. Silver is down 5.4%. The gold-silver ratio just hit 67 — and it’s not a valuation signal. It’s a real-time diagnostic of two forces colliding: the Iran peace dividend versus the Fed’s rate-hike threat. Here’s which one is winning, and why Thursday’s PCE report is the swing factor.

Is the Silver Rally Over? Tavi Costa Breaks Down the Selloff

Silver dropped more than 4% after Kevin Warsh’s first Fed press conference. Macro strategist Tavi Costa of Azoria Capital walks through the market signals, the dollar risk, and why the structural case for silver is unchanged.

Iran Deal. Oil Falling. A PM Out. Gold Still Above $4,100.

Oil falling, a PM resigning, a DXY at 13-month highs — and gold refusing to break. Five stories today, one thread.

PCE Drops Thursday. Here’s What It Means for Gold.

The Fed doesn’t watch CPI. It watches PCE — and the May reading drops Thursday, June 25. Here’s the mechanism linking this one number to gold prices, rate-hike odds, and what long-term holders need to understand before the week is out.

Solar Is Using 19% Less Silver. The Deficit Is Getting Worse. Here’s Why That’s Bullish.

Solar photovoltaic manufacturers reduced silver consumption by 19% in 2026, to roughly 151 million ounces. Despite that reduction, the global silver market is heading for its sixth consecutive annual supply deficit of 46.3 million ounces — wider than the year before. The deficit is expanding because mine supply is contracting faster than industrial demand is falling.

Half the Fed Wants a Hike. 45% of Central Banks Are Buying More Gold.

The Fed’s June 2026 dot plot split the committee down the middle on rate hikes, the dollar surged to its highest since May 2025, and silver posted its sharpest drop in weeks before recovering nearly 70% of the loss. The same week, the World Gold Council reported a record 45% of central banks plan to add gold. The headwinds are real. So is the floor.

Silver Hit $69.85 This Morning. Then the FOMC Took It All Back.

Silver climbed 2.8% on the Iran peace deal this morning, then gave it all back as the FOMC’s rate-hike signal reasserted itself. Gold barely moved. The gap between the two metals today shows exactly why silver behaves differently — and what physical holders need to understand about both forces.

Why Is Silver Up Today? The Iran Deal Changed the Fed Math

Silver is up while oil burns down. Most headlines are calling it a peace trade. They have the mechanism backwards. The real driver isn’t the war ending — it’s what cheaper oil does to Fed rate-hike expectations, real yields, and silver’s opportunity cost. Here’s the chain most coverage is missing.
