Silver prices have climbed steadily over the past five years, rising from around $20 per ounce in 2020 to just under $50 per ounce today. The 2025 price rally has been particularly notable, however, with prices finally breaking past their previous all-time highs. This upward trend reflects investors flocking to silver amid a combination of persistent inflation, a weakening U.S. dollar, increased central bank demand and investors seeking safe-haven assets during economic uncertainty. With silver's price nearly double what it was in 2020, the next question on investors' minds is whether it could realistically hit $100 per ounce. That milestone would represent a historic moment for the precious metal, which has only approached $50 twice before — in 1980 and 2011. To help investors better navigate the silver market, we spoke to precious metals experts, who share their insights below on when this $100-per-ounce price milestone might occur and what conditions would need to align fo...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday that he anticipates that China will revive substantial purchases of U.S. soybeans for several years and will delay its expanded licensing regime for rare earths by a year and re-examine it after two days of trade talks in Malaysia. Bessent told the CBS program "Face the Nation" that the soybean purchases would be substantial. Bessent said on ABC's "This Week" program that when President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping announce a trade deal next Thursday U.S. soybean farmers "will feel very good about what's going on both for this season and the coming seasons for several years." Bessent also said on "Face the Nation" that the details for a deal to transfer ownership of Chinese short video app TikTok to U.S. control were ironed out and that Trump and Xi would be able to "consummate" the transaction next week.

Although they have roiled markets, there’s no question that President Donald Trump’s trade policy actions have boosted the federal government’s customs revenues. The good news is this additional money coming in will help reduce the national deficit as well. d Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how Dave Ramsey warns nearly 50% of Americans are making 1 big Social Security mistake — here’s what it is and 3 simple steps to fix it ASAP Robert Kiyosaki says this 1 asset will surge 400% in a year — and he begs investors not to miss its ‘explosion’ In January, before Trump’s tariffs were announced, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had projected that customs revenues would total $80 billion in fiscal year 2025, which is close to the average of the previous five years. However, as a result of the tariff hikes, through July the revenue totaled $136 billion. Almost $30 ...

A bold new prediction from BNP Paribas analysts has the commodities world buzzing. After the brokerage firm predicted that silver will hit $100 by the end of next year, Market onClose host John Rowland broke down what that would actually mean for the markets — and how it ties into one of the most important but often-overlooked relationships in commodities: the gold–silver ratio. The Gold–Silver Ratio: What It Tells Us The gold–silver ratio measures how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. Using the formula f(x) tool on Barchart’s Interactive charts, insert {GC*0} / {SI*0} into the expressions field. Right now, that ratio sits around 85 to 1 — meaning gold is roughly 85 times more expensive than silver. Historically, the ratio has fluctuated: ・In periods of strong economic growth and industrial demand, it tends to narrow (silver outperforms). ・In risk-off or deflationary environments, it tends to widen (gold outperforms). So, what would happen to this histori...

The U.S. Geological Survey has transformed how the nation understands its mineral wealth. The agency's 2025 assessment reveals $2.55 trillion in identified and undiscovered gold deposits beneath American soil—a treasure map that stretches from Alaska's frozen wilderness to Nevada's desert basins. By consolidating over a century of fragmented geological data into a single national database, the USGS has reframed a resource Americans rarely see but fundamentally depend upon. The numbers speak for themselves. The United States holds approximately 33,000 metric tons of gold in total resources, worth roughly $2.55 trillion at current market prices. In 2024 alone, American mines produced 160 metric tons valued at $12 billion—a 9 percent increase from the previous year. Despite this significant wealth, the U.S. ranks fifth globally in gold production, trailing China, Russia, Australia, and Canada. Together, these five nations account for 41 percent of worldwide output. The A...

In spite of the DEW weapons’ promise, they are still years away from completion—while China is prepared to make war in the Indo-Pacific almost immediately. After having successfully demonstrated that it has a working railgun, Japan has been working feverishly on what it refers to as the “Vehicle-Mounted High-Power Laser Demonstration System,” a prototype for a directed energy weapon (DEW) developed under its Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The laser has reportedly destroyed small drones in tests, and is being prepared for integration with other Japanese Self-Defense Force (JSDF) systems, including high-powered countermeasures. The project is intended to be vehicle-mounted and can potentially be scaled or fitted to other platforms. DEWs are sought after especially as counter-drone systems. The Ukraine War has demonstrated the importance of countering drones. and militaries the world over have sought different methods for achieving defense...

In a recent interview, President Donald Trump spoke with a reporter about the possibility of rebates using the surplus of revenue coming in from his recent tariff policies. “We’re thinking about that actually. We have so much money coming in, we’re thinking about a little rebate, but the big thing we want to do is pay down debt. But we’re thinking about a rebate,” Trump said. “A little rebate for people of a certain income level might be very nice.” But how likely is a rebate to come to the American people? And if one does arrive, how much might it add to your wallet? Also find out how much four years of tariffs will affect the American middle class. Lawmakers have introduced a new proposal that could send rebate checks to millions of Americans—this time using revenue from tariffs. Sen. Josh Hawley’s American Worker Rebate Act of 2025 aims to turn billions collected from foreign import tariffs into direct payments. In a headline-making proposal unveiled on October 2, 2025, form...

When China tightened restrictions on rare-earth exports this month, stunning the White House, it was the latest reminder of Beijing’s control over an industry vital to the world economy. Its dominance was decades in the making. Since the 1990s, China has used aggressive tactics to build up and maintain its lock over rare-earth minerals, which are essential to making magnets needed for cars, wind turbines, jet fighters and other products. Beijing provided financial support to the country’s leading companies, encouraged them to snap up rare-earth assets abroad, and passed laws preventing foreign companies from buying rare-earth mines in China. It eventually consolidated its domestic industry from hundreds of businesses into a few giant players, giving it further leverage over prices. When the U.S. tried to engineer a revival of its domestic industry a few years ago, China flooded the market with supply, throwing Western producers into a tailspin. As Western rare-earth companies’ val...

Australia may have spotted a lucrative hole in the market for rare-earth metals, which are crucial for the defence industry and for manufacturing products necessary for the development of artificial intelligence (AI), such as semiconductors. Last week, China, which has a stranglehold on the supply of these critical minerals, tightened its export controls over its rare-earth metals. It now restricts exports of 12 of the 17 rare-earth metals on the periodic table. Seventy percent of rare earths are mined in China, and 90 percent are processed there. The United States is among many nations that urgently require these materials, and analysts have suggested that China is using access to them as leverage for its ongoing trade talks with the US. The announcement of the new restrictions came just weeks ahead of an expected meeting between Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, later this month. But on Thursday, Australia appeared to be stepping into the breach, when Canberr...

Japan continues to enhance its military capabilities amid threats from China, having begun to mass-produce long-range missiles launched from submarines and warships. The Chinese Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Why It Matters Under an island chain strategy, Japan forms part of two north-south defensive lines in the Western Pacific, designed to project military power to deter and defend against regional aggression by United States adversaries using American and allied territories. Facing China‘s military buildup for a potential invasion of Taiwan near Japan’s outlying islands, Tokyo has strengthened its counterstrike and standoff defense capabilities to strike enemy territory and defeat invading forces from a distance beyond their defenses. Long-range missiles are critical to achieving these capabilities. Japan has acquired the Tomahawk cruise missile from the U.S. and developed the upgraded Type 12 anti-ship missile and the Hyper Velocity Gli...

Forensic accountant Sam Antar told Newsmax on Friday that his review of New York Attorney General Letitia James' financial disclosures revealed what he called glaring inconsistencies related to multiple properties she owns — including the Virginia property at the center of her indictment. James was indicted Thursday on a bank fraud charge by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. Antar told Newsmax's "Newsline" that the indictment is likely just the beginning for James. "First of all, what they did was they indicted her on her [Norfolk, Virginia] property ... the Perrone Avenue property she purchased in 2020," Antar said. Antar said that when he examined James' state filings, he found that "the property had no mortgage in 2020, 2021, and 2022. And all of a sudden in 2023, in the financial disclosures to New York State, two mortgages appear, exceeding the value of her property by 200%." "So what I did was I went back...

A Virginia grand jury on Thursday indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on bank fraud charges following intense pressure from President Donald Trump to bring the case. Trump had demanded that Attorney General Pam Bondi prosecute James. Last Saturday, the president called James "scum" in a Truth Social post and said she should be removed from her job. He also railed against “her WITCH HUNT against President Donald J. Trump, and others.” James was charged with bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution, according to the indictment. “No one is above the law. The charges as alleged in this case represent intentional, criminal acts and tremendous breaches of the public’s trust,” said U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, the president's newly installed interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia who also secured an indictment of former FBI Director James Comey two weeks ago. Comey pleaded not guilty to the charges on Wednesday. H...

U.S. sanctions make it nearly impossible to pay Iran for its oil. China has figured out how to do it anyway, in an arrangement that has largely been secret. The hidden funding conduit has deepened economic ties between the two U.S. rivals in defiance of Washington’s efforts to isolate Iran. The barter-like system works like this, according to current and former officials from several Western countries, including the U.S.: Iranian oil is shipped to China—Tehran’s biggest customer—and, in return, state-backed Chinese companies build infrastructure in Iran. Completing the loop, the officials say, are a Chinese state-owned insurer that calls itself the world’s largest export-credit agency and a Chinese financial entity that is so secretive that its name couldn’t be found on any public list of Chinese banks or financial firms. The arrangement, by sidestepping the international banking system, has provided a lifeline to Iran’s sanctions-squeezed economy. Up to $8.4 billion in oil pay...

The United States continues to modernize its naval fleet by introducing new advanced destroyers to replace aging cruisers as its chief adversary, China, builds more warships. The Chinese Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Why It Matters China operates the world’s largest navy by hull count with more than 370 vessels. Over the past year, the Chinese military boosted shipbuilding by launching new warships, including a stealth frigate and an amphibious assault ship capable of launching aircraft. Facing China’s rapidly growing naval presence in the Pacific, the U.S. military relies on nearly 100 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers—its premier warship capable of multiple missions, in service, under construction or planned—to maintain naval dominance. While the U.S. Navy faces a pressing need to deploy its warships globally, it is retiring Ticonderoga-class cruisers, which underwent a failed modernization with cost overruns and delays. Only three of the cr...
