Wednesday's global markets were quite mixed. The US dollar index initially rebounded and broke through 98.6 during European trading, but then started to lag behind, ultimately closing up only 0.18% at 98.39. On the US debt side, the yield on the 10-year Treasury was set at 4.163%, while the 2-year Treasury was at 3.493%. These two figures are still quite significant for those tracking Federal Reserve movements.

Precious metals took the spotlight this week. Spot gold once surged back near the 4340 USD level, though it later experienced sharp volatility, ending with a small red candle, up 0.84%, at 4338.44 USD/oz. Silver performed even more strongly — directly pushing its historical high above 66 USD, finally closing up 3.87% at 66.19 USD/oz. This rally definitely caught attention.

The energy sector rebounded due to easing geopolitical tensions. WTI crude oil closed up 3.03%, at 56.70 USD per barrel; Brent crude re-entered the 60 USD level, ending up 2.95% at 60.79 USD per barrel. From market reactions, concerns over global supply have indeed eased.

Silver 3.87%? This increase is really incredible. I need to quickly check if I can still get in.

This surge in silver is truly amazing, breaking the all-time high at $66. Most people can't keep up with this pace.

Silver hits a new high again. Is this really the moment to take off? Or is it just another trick to get me in?

Silver rises 3.87% to break the all-time high, this rhythm... Is someone quietly bottom-fishing?

Today’s market looks just like my wallet—full one moment, empty the next --- Geopolitical easing causes crude oil to soar. Looks like the war tax is really sticking to oil prices now. The meme king says today’s data tells a good story --- The 10-year yield at 4.163% paired with the 2-year at 3.493%. The Federal Reserve’s little trick—enough for everyone to ponder all night --- The energy sector is the star today. Doubling the increase in crude oil feels... Is the supply side really easing, or is the market just making up stories again? --- Silver broke 66 to hit a new high. That’s the real star of today.

Silver is soaring again, I really can't hold it anymore. Gold is moving slowly, but silver is more sensible, directly reaching a new historical high. The dollar is so weak, no wonder everyone is hoarding precious metals. Are oil prices also rising? Is the easing of geopolitical tensions real? With US Treasury yields staying like this, are they waiting for the Federal Reserve to give up?
