Market Analysis
Markets closed higher (+0.55%) Friday.
Silver surged 5.8% Friday—biggest one-day gain in months—as record-high prices smashed through October's peak.
Why: • Fed rate-cut hopes rose for December meeting, boosting non-yielding metals like silver (Bloomberg, Nov 28)
• Chinese silver stockpiles fell to decade-low after huge shipments to London (Bloomberg, Nov 25)
• Comex trading halted for hours Friday after cooling system failure, creating thin liquidity and erratic price swings (Bloomberg, Nov 28)
Watch: • ISM Manufacturing PMI at 10 AM ET—readings below 50 signal contraction, last print 48.7 in October
• Fed meeting next week—over 85% odds of quarter-point rate cut priced in by markets (Yahoo Finance, Dec 1)
