 | | Ahead of Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed “Liberation Day,” markets are gearing up for what might be the most significant ramp-up in the administration’s months-long trade war yet. The problem for Wall Street is two-fold.

 | Chart of the Day: Silver's Big Buy Opportunity | 
Gold has dominated silver for the past five years, but that story is changing fast. Silver has broken out in recent months – exactly why our PAAS calls delivered those quick gains. As precious metals with strong correlations to silver like gold and platinum rally higher, silver historically catches up to gold, providing some great price action as silver is typically far less expensive than gold. The current gap between them on the chart shows silver running higher right now. And while levels will certainly change in the coming weeks, this isn't just a temporary move. The gold-silver ratio remains at historically elevated levels. Historically, when the ratio stretches to these levels, Silver tends to catch up aggressively. That gives silver plenty of room to run throughout 2025, especially if inflation sticks around and the metals rally continues. | Recommended Link | | | | AI is creeping into every aspect of our daily lives… According to billion-dollar fund manager Louis Navellier, it’s never been more important to AI-proof your wealth.
