Last week, the US stock market performed well. The S&P 500 index rose by 1.4%, marking the best weekly performance in nearly a month. The Nasdaq and Dow Jones indices followed closely, increasing by 1.2% each, while the small-cap Russell 2000 index saw a smaller gain of only 0.2%.

In the bond market, the 10-year US Treasury yield fell by 2 basis points. Although it may retreat slightly for the month, its annual performance is still expected to be the best since 2020.

Commodities were lively—gold rose by 4.0%, but the most eye-catching was silver, which surged by 18% in a single week, the largest increase in nearly 27 years. Crude oil increased slightly by 0.7%.

In cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin was somewhat weak, declining by 1.0%. Overall risk sentiment eased, with the VIX fear index dropping sharply by 9%, and the US dollar index also weakened by 0.5%. Bank stocks rose slightly by 0.4%.

BTC-0,14%

Silver 18%? Really? How much position should I buy to bottom fish? I was waiting for the risk control point last week and missed the opportunity, and now I'm doomed to be liquidated again.

Silver surges 18%? Is it true? This time I gotta get on board.

Silver up 18%？ That’s an outrageous increase, feels like the market is frantically searching for safe havens. Bitcoin is still lying flat, if this continues, my position will be eating dirt. US Treasury yields are falling, where is the money flowing... Looks like precious metals are the real hot favorites. Small-cap stocks only rose 0.2%, really disappointing, the big caps are dancing alone. VIX has dropped so much, is it truly calming down or just the calm before the storm? US stocks are starting to show muscle again, but BTC just won’t cooperate, a bit awkward. Is this wave of silver being driven by grandma traders or institutions laying out the plan? Too outrageous, brother. The bond market’s performance this year is surprisingly strong, new bond darling? Crude oil only rose 0.7%, this heat has definitely cooled down quite a bit. A weaker dollar is a good thing, finally crypto gets a breather... but BTC is still dozing off.

Silver up 18% ? That's much stronger than Bitcoin's 1% drop. Brothers, it's time to seriously look at precious metals opportunities. With BTC so weak, we still need to watch the Federal Reserve's moves. Easing risk sentiment is a good sign. The US stock market shows clear divergence, with large caps rising and small caps falling. I've seen this pattern too many times. Gold and silver are both taking off. It feels like something big is about to happen. Holding some physical assets is never wrong. A 9% drop in the VIX indicates market sentiment has stabilized. But at this point, caution is warranted. History tells me not to get caught in overly optimistic waves. The bond market's best year? Yields are still being suppressed. This signal is quite contradictory; we need to keep observing.

Silver's 18% surge is truly crazy, while BTC is actually dragging down... --- Another week of happy US stocks and sleepy crypto markets, same old story --- Silver takes off directly, Bitcoin is sleeping? The contrast is quite striking --- VIX crashes 9%, risk sentiment eases, but BTC still remains silent... --- US Treasury yields decline, traditional assets are making a move? Crypto is still cold --- Silver up 18% in a single week, this is truly "extraordinary" --- Interesting, when commodities are celebrating wildly, Bitcoin chooses to play dead --- S&P 500 up 1.4%, BTC down 1.0%... the gap is really big --- Gold, silver, copper, iron all rise, but BTC and the dollar are just awkwardly dancing --- US stock and bond markets are all telling stories, crypto still has to wait for the next round
