&nbsp;Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, stated in an article that gold, silver, metals, and stocks face a risk of "excessive rise" in 2026. One important reason for the decline of Bitcoin and crude oil in 2025 is their previous excessive gains. Gold, silver, copper, most metals, and the U.S. stock market also show similar overheating tendencies in 2026. Although the rapid rise in the market is supported by fundamentals, it often stimulates increased supply, suppresses demand, and ultimately triggers price adjustments.

Ed Yardeni, President of Yardeni Research, predicts that Trump will turn tariffs from barriers into bargaining chips, promoting strong growth of over 3% in the US economy through tariff reductions combined with a wave of tax rebates. Price pressures will act as a catalyst, forcing the Trump administration to shift from protectionism to trade easing, using the negotiated bargaining chips to lower tariffs. The strategic goal has been achieved, and the White House is now in a position to ease inflationary pressures by cutting tariffs. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin has also hinted that the effectiveness of tariffs is weakening. Additionally, Yardeni warns that if a major geopolitical shock occurs (such as a deterioration in the European situation), all economic forecasts will become invalid.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Rania Gule, a senior market analyst at the trading platform XS.com, stated in a report that silver may benefit more than gold in an environment where interest rates might decline. Gule said that silver is more sensitive to changes in monetary policy. She added that silver's high liquidity, ease of trading, and relatively low cost make it an attractive safe-haven asset for both retail and institutional investors. In 2025, silver rose nearly 148%, reflecting its "multidimensional" nature as a safe-haven asset, currency hedge, and a key mineral for the US economy. It is expected that with the depreciation of the US dollar, silver priced in dollars will become more attractive to non-US buyers, thereby driving global demand.
