It was trading over $90 this morning. That's a 17%-off sale. Buy some right now before it ends.” He urged investors to “Buy on line. Don't wait for a call back.”Central banks were another focus for investors. The European Central Bank and the Bank of England are both expected to maintain rates steady, while Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook indicated caution about further easing due to concerns about stalled progress in reducing inflation. Markets have also been digesting the nomination of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair, who is likely to support a smaller balance sheet and&nbsp;be less dovish on rate cuts.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Geopolitical Risks Remain In Focus</h2>Geopolitical concerns continue to loom, though near-term risks appeared to ease Friday after the U.S. and Iran agreed to hold talks in Oman. Officials from both countries said that disagreement remains on the extent of topics that will be discussed, with Washington wanting negotiations to include Iran's missile program and Tehran saying talks should be confined to its nuclear ambitions.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for SLV and AGQ was ‘extremely bullish’ amid ‘extremely high’ message volume.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/slv_ss_png_0836c08ca9.webp" alt="slv ss.png" width="964" height="146"><figcaption>SLV sentiment and message volume as of February 4 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/agq_ss_png_9d81a0d0ef.webp" alt="agq ss.png" width="972" height="142"><figcaption>AGQ sentiment and message volume as of February 4 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>One user said the Iranians were looking to buy time rather than resolving tensions, warning "the whole world will need to pile into safe metals like gold and silver as tensions and military operations can go worse than expected, causing escalations and chaos."<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/s586576/message/644061124</stembedurl>Another user said, “The silver is making higher lows, and USD is making lower highs in the past 90 minutes.&nbsp; It's an early signal for potential bottom for Silver and top for USD have been set, and gradual reversal is playing out.”&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/AlphaBull_10M/message/644060192</stembedurl>While the SLV ETF has surged over 170% over the past 12 months, the AGQ ETF has rocketed over 300% over the same period.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
