The debasement trade lives,” he wrote in a post on X.<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/robin_j_brooks/status/2000873221252321576"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Robin_Brooks_X_post_png_ff80a4c632.webp" alt="Robin Brooks X post.png"></a><h2 class="st-heading-2">Search For Safe Havens</h2>The move fits squarely into what can be called the “debasement trade,” where investors move capital out of fiat currencies and debt assets into hard assets such as gold and silver to guard against currency devaluation driven by policy changes.The underlying driver is the fear that inflation will steadily erode long-term savings. This has led investors to scramble for hedges, which is the primary reason for the increase in precious metals prices.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Momentum Spreading Beyond Gold</h2>What makes the current rally unusual is that gold is no longer the sole driver. Silver’s explosive gains have sparked follow-through buying in platinum and palladium, suggesting momentum trading. Gold not leading the rally also weakens the argument that central banks, particularly in emerging markets, are behind the move.Spot silver has been on a record-breaking run this month, gaining nearly 14%. It also hit an all-time high of $64.66 per ounce on Friday.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Is The Dollar An Issue?</h2>Importantly, this surge is unfolding while the U.S. dollar remains broadly stable against other major currencies. That signals the problem isn’t dollar weakness, but a more profound unease with fiat money itself, Brooks added. Investors appear to be questioning the long-term purchasing power of paper currencies in general, not just the greenback.That said, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen from its November high of 100.395 to 98.18, trading below its 200-day moving average.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1317/867;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/DXY_png_cfa21c4eb1.webp" alt="DXY.png" width="1317" height="867"><figcaption>DXY YTD | Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>Earlier pauses in precious metals prices coincided with major global meetings that forced markets to reassess valuations.

Gold, Silver, And The Jackson Hole Summit - Here's What Economist Robin Brooks Said About The Debasement Trade

Strong returns by precious metals this year can be attributed to ‘debasement trade’, in which investors move capital out of fiat currencies into hard assets like gold and silver, Brooks said.

He also said the U.S. dollar and short-term cash-like instruments tend to weaken because yields fall and purchasing power erodes.Pompliano added that long-duration assets, including tech stocks and venture-backed companies, often see the strongest response because their valuations rely heavily on future cash flows, which become more attractive when rates drop. He noted that defensive sectors, traditional value stocks, and some commodities often lag during QE cycles because investor appetite shifts toward growth.The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) fell 1% in midday trade on Thursday, dragged down by Oracle’s (ORCL) most&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/oracle-shares-falls-on-q2-revenue-miss-orcl-stock-price-target-cut/cLIxBccREn3">recent earnings</a>.

The iShares US Aerospace and Defense ETF (ITA), meanwhile, rose 1.7% with retail sentiment also trending in 'bullish' territory over the past day.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fed Cut Overshadowed By Balance Sheet Move</h2>The Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark rate by 25 basis points on Wednesday, bringing the federal funds range to 3.50%–3.75%. The decision included three dissents, including two officials who supported no change and Fed Governor Stephen Miran, who preferred a deeper 50-basis-point cut.The rate move was widely expected on Wall Street. The unexpected development was the central bank’s plan to resume balance-sheet expansion by purchasing $40 billion in monthly Treasury bills, marking a return to asset accumulation after months of quantitative tightening.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Investors Position For A ‘Liquidity Wave’</h2>Pompliano said the renewed bond-buying will likely lower yields further and push investors into higher-risk corners of the market. When the Fed increases liquidity, borrowing costs fall, confidence improves, and asset demand rises, he wrote.He also pointed to several deflationary forces he believes are converging on the U.S. economy. According to Pompliano, trends in AI, robotics, and tariffs each carry deflationary effects on their own but together create conditions that could challenge the Fed’s ability to manage monetary policy effectively.Overall, Pompliano stated that the return of QE is likely to leave investors “very happy,” given its historical impact on asset prices. U.S. equities were mixed in midday trade on Thursday.

Silver has hit fresh peaks in seven of the last 10 sessions. Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research at Goldman Sachs, told Forbes on Thursday that silver prices are likely to remain highly volatile as long as uncertainty over U.S. tariffs persists. Struyven also pointed to a physical squeeze in the London silver market, with inventories low as metal is being shipped to the U.S. amid tariff concerns.He said that many of the factors lifting gold, such as expectations of lower interest rates, also help silver by boosting investor demand. However, unlike gold, silver doesn’t have central bank buying as support, and it tends to be more volatile.Struyven noted that Gold ETFs are roughly 70 times smaller than the U.S. Treasury market, and silver is about nine times smaller than gold, and because of this, even modest flows into silver could drive significant gains.Meanwhile, veteran commodities expert and Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, Ole Hansen, noted that silver could see profit-taking as risk sentiment weakened across equities.In a <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/1999015507278672209">post</a> on X, Hansen noted that the firm rejection, partly due to overbought conditions, may signal a shift in focus toward consolidation, with $59 as a major support level.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Ole_Hansen_png_6e56b6f601.webp" alt="Ole Hansen.png"><h2 class="st-heading-2">Gold And Greenback</h2>Spot gold prices fell 0.2% to $4,219 an ounce, while gold futures for February 2026 deliveries climbed 0.6% to $4,249.2.Meanwhile, the dollar index (DXY) declined 0.3% to 98.32, its lowest level since October 17.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1299/876;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/DXY_png_783fa1b935.webp" alt="DXY.png" width="1299" height="876"><figcaption>DXY on Dec. 10, 2025 | Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>Read Also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/crbp-stock-surged-36-pre-market-what-did-its-obesity-treatment-drug-study-reveal/cLIxOoAREnh">CRBP Stock Surged 36% Pre-Market – What Did Its Obesity Treatment Drug Study Reveal?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Spot Silver Continues Hitting Fresh Highs – But This Analyst Warns Of Potential Consolidation

Spot silver prices jumped to a record high of $62.9 per ounce on Thursday, a day after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced the much-anticipated 25 basis point rate cut.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Silver prices have soared 106% in 2025, over four times last year’s gains.</li><li>The surge accelerated when the gold-silver ratio spiked above 105 in April, analyst Ole Hansen said.</li><li>Spot gold prices and the dollar index were trading marginally lower ahead of the outcome of the Fed meeting.</li></ul>&nbsp;Spot silver (XAG/USD) extended its rally on Wednesday, surging to another fresh high as prices briefly touched $61.6 per ounce ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision later in the day, where investors are broadly expecting a 25-basis-point cut.At the time of writing, the spot prices eased off record highs and were trading up 0.3%, while silver futures for March 2026 delivery gained 1% to $60.46 per ounce.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1300/877;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/XAG_png_9fe3831850.webp" alt="XAG.png" width="1300" height="877"><figcaption>Silver spot price (XAG/USD) on Dec.10, 2025 | Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>The current run has seen silver prices increase by 106% so far in 2025, more than four times last year's gains.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Gold-Silver Ratio</h2>According to veteran commodities expert and Head of Commodity Strategy for Saxo Bank, Ole Hansen, silver’s surge accelerated when the gold-silver ratio spiked above 105 in April, making silver appear deeply undervalued. Once prices broke major resistance levels in August, momentum traders, long-term investors, and macro funds piled in, turning a valuation gap into a full-fledged breakout.In a Saxo Bank note on Wednesday, Hansen added that eroding confidence in fiat currencies, persistent inflation concerns, and rising fiscal deficits pushed investors toward hard assets. While gold buying by central banks remained strong, silver, a cheaper and more volatile alternative, benefited.&nbsp;At the same time, industrial demand driven by electrification trends, solar power expansion, EV growth, and data-center build-outs increased demand, while years of weak mine supply kept the physical market tight.These pressures also intensified after silver was added to the U.S. critical minerals list, prompting large pre-tariff purchases that drained global inventories.

According to the Fed minutes released on Wednesday, officials were split on whether the greater risk to the economy was a cooling labor market or high inflation.

The U.S. dollar has weathered the government shutdown relatively well and has been broadly rising, with the greenback now rising for three consecutive sessions. In the Asian session, the currency rose 0.33% to 98.91, a level not seen since Aug.11, although it is still down 9% for the year-to-date period.The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), an index that measures the value of the greenback against a basket of six currencies belonging to the country’s major trading partners, was up 0.33% to $98.91 early Wednesday. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UUP">Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP)</a> rose 0.43% in overnight trading, according to Yahoo Finance.The U.S. currency’s revival could be attributed to the decline in rate-cut chatter, as government data releases have been&nbsp;delayed, and some Federal Reserve speakers who made public appearances recently issued hawkish comments. Kansas City Fed’s Jeff Schmid emphasized on Monday the need to remain vigilant about inflation that has remained sticky. His views were echoed by Minneapolis Fed’s Neel Kashkari, who said any drastic rate cuts would stoke inflation.&nbsp;The greenback also received support from geopolitical developments that weighed down on some of its major counterparts. The Japanese yen has depreciated by approximately 3.5% against the dollar this week following the announcement that pro-stimulus leader Sanae Takaichi will be the new leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). While the Japanese stock market welcomed the election, the yen weakened to its lowest since February on concerns about fiscal extravagance.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the political impasse in France, following the resignation of Sébastien Lecornu after serving in office for less than a month, has hurt the euro, the common currency of the 27-nation EU bloc. Lecornu’s resignation was precipitated by his inability to push through austerity measures in parliament. French President Emmanuel Macron is now left with the responsibility of choosing another Prime Minister or dissolving parliament and holding new elections. On a positive note, Lecornu has reportedly accepted a request from Macron to work on a plan for the “stability of the country.”The political instability in Europe’s second-largest economy has sparked concerns about a broader eurozone-wide debt crisis. From a mid-September high of 1.1919 against the dollar, the euro has lost about 2.5% and currently trades around the 1.16 levels.The dollar's strength has come despite a rise in gold to a record high.
