Precious metals plunge after months-long rally fueled by weak dollar

Gold (GC=F) futures fell as much as 11% on Friday to trade below $4,900 per troy ounce in a severe reversal of this year's massive rally in precious metals.
Spot gold saw its biggest daily drop since the early 80's while silver (SI=F) also tumbled more than 25%, its largest daily decline on record.
The volatility came alongside a wider stock market sell-off, with the major averages all lower after President Trump selected Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair. The nomination appeared to eased concerns about the c

Bitcoin news shows signs that its long bottoming phase is fading after months of sideways action. Bitcoin USD hovered near recent highs this week as volatility stayed muted, a pattern traders often see before a larger move. The setup matters because long consolidations often decide whether the next chapter brings relief or another shakeout.
The backdrop feels familiar. ETF momentum, post-crash healing, and long-term halving narratives all sit in the background at once. For beginners, this mix can feel noisy, so let’s slow it down.

BlackRock, the world’s largest ******* et manager, has filed to launch a second Bitcoin-focused exchange-traded product that would give investors exposure to the cryptocurrency — along with a little yield.

To generate the “monthly premium income” for the new ETP, BlackRock would sell call options on the IBIT shares, according to the filing.

India to slash tariffs on cars to 40% in trade deal with EU, sources say

By Aditi Shah and Philip Blenkinsop
NEW DELHI/BRUSSELS, Jan 25 (Reuters) - India plans to slash tariffs on cars imported from the European Union to 40% from as high as 110%, sources said, in the biggest opening yet of the country's vast market as the two sides close in on a free trade pact that could come as early as Tuesday.
Prime Minister ‌Narendra Modi's government has agreed to immediately reduce the tax on a limited number of cars from the 27-nation bloc with an import price of more than 15,000 euros ($17,739),

BlackRock could soon debut its iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, according to a registration statement filed with the SEC on Friday.

Trump says China 'will completely' devour Canada if it strikes trade deal

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump threatened Canada with 100% tariffs against all its exports to the US if it makes a trade deal with China, escalating tensions between the US and its northern neighbor.
Trump, referring to Prime Minister Mark Carney as “Governor Carney,” said the Canadian leader was “sorely mistaken” for opening up his country to more business from China, including a recent deal allowing an increase in Chinese electric vehicle exports. Trump has trolled Canada about his desire for it to become th

The comments by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may be a green light to authorities to pursue a more aggressive approach to the demonstrations, which have been going on for a week.
The protests take their root in the country’s ailing economy as Iran’s rial currency now trades at around 1.4 million to the dollar.

As 2025 came to a close, subtle changes in Federal Reserve activity started to catch the attention of traders watching both macro markets and crypto. Unusual moves in short-term funding and a series of quiet policy adjustments suggested that liquidity pressures might be easing. For some observers, that raised the possibility that Bitcoin could start moving higher before traditional markets show clearer signs of recovery in 2026.

Expectations for crypto performance in 2026 are high, driven by rising demand for alternative stores of value and regulatory clarity.
According to Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl, a more supportive regulatory environment will strengthen the crypto sector. At the same time, weakening fiat currencies will further boost demand. Together, these conditions could push Bitcoin’s price to new all-time highs.

Donald Trump's return to the White House in 2025 marked a stunning political comeback, with the US president pushing an aggressive MAGA policy from trade to international relations. While the US leader has shaped the events of a turbulent 2025, the new year may prove harder to manage for Trump as the midterm elections approach.
For Europeans, that is one factor to watch after a difficult year in which the future of the transatlantic relation, the bedrock of economic prosperity and security for the continent since the end of the Cold War, came under scrutiny as MAGA went after the EU.
