Silver price rockets to record near $94 as Trump tariff threat jolts markets

New York, Jan 19, 2026, 12:13 PM EST — Markets have closed. Silver prices surged to record highs on Monday, with spot silver climbing 4.4% to $93.93 an ounce, briefly hitting $94.10. The spike came as investors sought safety after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened more tariffs amid the Greenland dispute. Spot gold also hit a new high, rising 1.6% to $4,669.69. Linh Tran, a senior market analyst at XS.com, noted that policy shocks often drive money into havens like gold. Citi Research analysts put three-month targets at $100 for silver and $5,000 for gold. Meanwhile, traders priced in at least two quarter-point U.S. rate cuts this year, even as the Fed is expected to hold rates steady at its Jan. 27-28 meeting.

Morgan Stanley Upgrade Lifts MDA Space as 2026 Space-Tech Funding Forecast Rises

Global investment in space technology is set to climb again in 2026 after a record year, driven by defense-linked satellite systems and launch capacity, investment firm Seraphim Space said on Monday. Private investment rose 48% in 2025 to $12.4 billion, the firm said, and “a potential SpaceX IPO could act as a powerful catalyst,” said Seraphim Space investment analyst Lucas Bishop. The update lands as Canada’s MDA Space jumped 14.5% on Friday after Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock, a move that helped keep Toronto’s main index near record levels. Morgan Stanley’s space team, led by analyst Kristine Liwag, has an “attractive” view on the sector for 2026, TipRanks reported, pointing to tailwinds that it says should carry over from last year. Gains are expected to be “fueled by higher launch cadences, new product intros, policy support & market maturation,” Liwag wrote, flagging Rocket Lab, AST SpaceMobile and Intuitive Machines.

  • Croda International, Aviva seen as value picks on FTSE 100 for July
    July 5, 2026, 5:58 AM EDT. Croda International and Aviva are showing up as value buys this July on the FTSE 100. Croda's earnings dropped from £653.3m in 2022 to £64.7m in 2025 after Covid hit inventories, but the company could bounce back as restocking picks up. Goldman Sachs and Jefferies both have Buy ratings and see 16% upside. Aviva, the insurer, posted a 25% jump in operating profit in 2025 and increased its dividend. That move got Berenberg's price target up by 24%. Both stocks are drawing investor interest as markets stay volatile.
