U.S. markets have just wrapped up a light, post-Christmas session, and the “AI trade” is ending the year with the same story investors have been living with since 2023: enormous opportunity, enormous spending, and a growing debate over who captures the profits in 2026.

Silver Price Nears $78 as Gold and Platinum Hit Records: What’s Driving the 2025 Precious-Metals Melt-Up

Silver has pushed into territory that would have sounded far-fetched just a year ago.
