New York silver futures rose above $82 per ounce, up 6.64% on the day.1. Market Trends: Platinum and palladium futures rebounded sharply. The main platinum contract is currently up over 10%, and the main palladium contract is up over 7%. Geopolitical risks remain unresolved, coupled with positive statements from Federal Reserve officials, leading to a rebound in precious metals, with platinum and palladium following suit. 2. Peoples Bank of China: Chinas gold reserves at the end of January were 74.19 million ounces (approximately 2307.567 tons), an increase of 40,000 ounces (approximately 1.24 tons) month-on-month. At the end of December, they were 74.15 million ounces (approximately 2306.323 tons), marking the 15th consecutive month of increases. 3. Federal Reserve Governor Milan stated that interest rate cuts of more than 100 basis points are needed this year, and he is looking forward to Warshs performance. The US House of Representatives passed a funding agreement negotiated by President Trump and Senate Democrats, potentially ending the partial US government shutdown. 4. Geopolitically, tensions in the Gulf region remain high. Negotiations between the US, Iran, and Oman failed to reach an effective consensus, and the possibility of future conflict between the two countries remains. 5. Nan Hua Futures View: In the medium to long term, the foundation for a platinum and palladium bull market remains intact. It is expected that the Federal Reserve will maintain its loose monetary policy stance in the first half of 2026. Central bank gold purchases, safe-haven demand, and increased investment demand will continue to push precious metal prices higher. 6. Guoxin Futures view: Against the backdrop of a global sell-off in risk assets and market risk aversion shifting towards cash rather than gold, the safe-haven premium in the precious metals sector has temporarily subsided. Looking ahead, the short-term trend of platinum and palladium will continue to passively follow the overall sentiment of the precious metals sector. 7. Xinhu Futures view: In the medium to long term, the platinum market has experienced physical shortages for several consecutive years, with limited mine capacity and insufficient capital expenditure. While demand is hampered by sales of traditional gasoline vehicles, we expect the structural gap to persist, driving prices steadily upward. Palladium supply will remain scarce in the medium term, with inventories below multi-year lows and weak buffering capacity. Low inventory + high supply concentration + potential investment inflows make palladium a highly volatile speculative product.

The vast majority of SpaceXs revenue comes from the commercial Starlink system.February 9th - Spot gold and silver continued their upward trend on Monday, with gold rising slightly above $5,000, driven by a weaker dollar. Investors are focused on key employment and inflation data to be released this week. OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong stated, "This could be due to the short-term intraday correlation between the dollar and gold and silver prices." KCM chief analyst Tim Waterer noted, "Bargain buying also pushed gold prices back above $5,000." Investors anticipate at least two 25-basis-point rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2026, with the first cut potentially occurring in June.

Ripple momentum prior to the Hinman Docs Court Decision

In the continuing dispute with the SEC, Ripple obtained another victory. Judge Netburn granted Ripple's request on Monday for non-party subpoenas to be issued in order to verify seven recordings of public statements made by SEC officials.


Despite the fact that Bill Hinman was a former SEC Director, the SEC has yet to confirm or deny if he is the person in the video. The seven films in question include Bill Hinman's comments.


If it is confirmed that one of the seven is Bill Hinman, the Ripple defense team may have another avenue to attack Hinman and his 2018 address, which is now the focus of the case. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), according to the former SEC Director of the Division of Corporation Finance, are not securities.


Even though Ripple won, the decision had had a little effect on the price of XRP as investors awaited a more significant decision.


The SEC objected to a July Court decision that rejected its effort to rely on the attorney-client privilege to protect records relating to the William Hinman speech. The SEC objected on July 23, so a ruling might happen at any moment.
