Silver price hits a fresh record as Trump tariff threat jolts markets

Spot silver climbed 0.7% to $95.308 an ounce on Tuesday, briefly touching a record $95.488. The metal stayed close to gold’s recent surge as investors sought safe havens following President Donald Trump’s renewed tariff threats involving Greenland. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo highlighted growth concerns and Trump’s push for lower U.S. rates as key factors. WisdomTree strategist Nitesh Shah expressed being “a little bit more worried” about downside risks despite a broader buyer base. Silver has surged 33.7% so far this year, after a massive 147% jump in 2025.

Venezuela oil barrels return: Vitol, Trafigura court India and China as Trump export plan takes shape

Vitol and Trafigura have begun talks with refiners in India and China to buy Venezuelan crude for March delivery, according to trade sources on Monday.

One trader saw an offer pricing a cargo at an $8 to $8.50 per barrel discount to ICE Brent, the global benchmark, with delivery into Asia. The companies have reached out to Indian Oil and Hindustan Petroleum, and also contacted China’s PetroChina. Another source added that Vitol has already shipped a naphtha cargo expected to arrive at Venezuela’s Jose terminal on Jan. 28—a crucial step since this lighter fuel is used to dilute Venezuela’s heavy crude.
