Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) surges to a new all‑time high

Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) is a closed-end fund managed by Sprott Asset Management. It provides investors with direct exposure to physical silver bullion. Unlike synthetic products, PSLV is fully backed by allocated silver bars. Below we will look at the long term Elliott Wave technical outlook of the instrument:

PSLV weekly Elliott Wave chart

Chart

The weekly chart indicates that PSLV established a major wave (II) low at 6.17 on August 29, 2022, which marked the beginning of a sustained impulsive rally. From that base, wave I advanced to 11.77, followed by a corrective wave II that bottomed at 9.61. The current wave III is unfolding as an impulse. Wave (1) peaked at 11.75 and pullback in wave (2) retraced to 9.97. The instrument then extended sharply in wave (3) to 18.15. Afterwards, wave (4) corrected to 15.06. A final push higher in wave (5) should happen, which should complete wave ((1)) of III at the larger degree.

Once this initial sequence concludes, a corrective wave ((2)) is expected to retrace the cycle from the December 16, 2024 low, before the broader uptrend resumes. As long as the 6.17 pivot remains intact, the bias stays firmly bullish. Any pullback should provide a buying opportunity within the familiar 3, 7, or 11 swing sequences.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.



Gold sticks to gains above $3,900; bulls lack conviction as Fed and Iran risks support USD

Gold clings to modest recovery gains above the $3,900 mark during the Asian session, snapping its three-day losing streak to the lowest level since late September set the previous day. The US Dollar takes a breather after a strong three-day rally to its highest level since April 2025, offering some support to the commodity. However, firming US Federal Reserve rate-hike expectations and Middle East uncertainties continue to support the Greenback. This keeps a lid on any further upside for the precious metal.

Bitcoin slips below $70,000 for the first time since August

Bitcoin is attracting some serious sellers, pushing it below $70,000 on Friday after an over 3% decline the previous day. The Crypto King is down over 5% so far this week, and a bearish close could mark its sixth consecutive week of losses. The technical outlook for Bitcoin is bearish, with sellers tightening their grip despite overextending the downtrend to oversold levels.

What the US CPI headline doesn’t tell you about inflation

Brent crude has fallen about a third since mid-October on hopes the Iran war is ending, but diesel, freight and fertiliser costs haven't followed. Those costs reach US consumer prices in stages through 2027 and could keep inflation high after gasoline gets cheaper.
