Risk-Off Has Changed the Rules Now traders are dealing with an uncertain Fed and a risk-off situation across all speculative markets, which points toward lower prices and a return to more traditional fundamentals. Instead of looking to come in every day to take out offers, investors are now hunting value. Long-term investors have seen what silver can do after a 46-year wait, so they are the patient ones. The short-term guys have to think now with little momentum to the upside, so they have lost interest. But they will probably be back once the market finds value and stabilizes. It…

This article is part one of The Conversation’s “Business Basics” series where we ask leading experts to discuss key concepts in business, economics and finance. For the most part, economists continue to believe a story of money told to generations of students by a series of textbooks over the past 150 years. The conventional story is that early gold and silver exchanges evolved from a barter system.

  Saving money feels reassuring. It gives you security. It gives you freedom. It also gives you confidence about the future. Many people save regularly but do not know how much their money actually earns. Interest often feels unclear or confusing. This is where simple tools help. Banks like IDFC First Bank focus on making savings easy to understand, even if you do not come from a finance background. When you save, your money does not just sit there. It grows slowly.

That’s low compared to recent prices, but the potential to earn big returns amid the volatility has pulled a new wave of silver buyers into the market, helping to further increase demand…

After three years of blockbuster margins fuelled by ultra-cheap Russian crude, the country’s refining sector is moving into a new — and tougher — earnings cycle.

At its peak in FY24, Russian oil made up nearly 36% of India’s crude import basket, flooding refineries with barrels discounted by $8-10 per barrel to Brent and propelling GRMs to a historic $10-12 per barrel.
