Why silver prices keep soaring, and how you can benefit from it on the ASX?
Silver has quietly moved into a powerful uptrend, and it’s not happening by accident. The metal is being pulled in two directions at once, as a financial haven and as an industrial workhorse. For ASX investors, this creates an opportunity.

Macroeconomic Report for the Week Ending 5 December 2025 – Australian Market Outlook
Global data point to a softening but still mixed growth backdrop, with US manufacturing in mild contraction contrasted against resilient services activity. Labour indicators such as ADP employment and continuing jobless claims show cooling private hiring and more challenging re‑employment conditions, reinforcing expectations of earlier and deeper Federal Reserve rate cuts. Core US PCE inflation is running at a steady, moderate pace, allowing the Fed to stay on hold while waiting for clearer evidence that inflation is durably converging to the target.

Lithium Price Is on the Rise. Which ASX Lithium Stocks Offer Better Opportunities?
Lithium prices are rising again, which tends to lift investor interest in ASX-listed producers. Thanks to growing demand for batteries (EVs, energy storage) and tightening supply, analysts suggest the recent price upswing, roughly 20–25% month-on-month, may mark a turning point. In that context, some ASX companies with solid operations and cash flow stand out as offering relatively better risk-adjusted opportunities. Still, it’s not a guaranteed path: lithium remains a volatile commodity, and gains now reflect renewed optimism rather than long-term certainty.

Macroeconomic Report for the Week Ending 28 November 2025 – Australian Market Outlook
The global macroeconomic backdrop shifted notably in the week ending 28 November 2025, fuelling a renewed "risk-on" sentiment that propelled a decisive recovery in Australian equities. In the United States, softening labour market indicators—specifically an acceleration in weekly ADP job losses—combined with a cooler-than-expected Core PPI reading and dovish commentary from Federal Reserve officials, led to a sharp repricing of interest rate expectations, with markets now pricing in an ~85% probability of a December cut. This pivot abroad overshadowed sticky domestic inflation data, allowing interest-rate-sensitive growth sectors to lead the S&P/ASX 200 higher, even as uncertainty persists around the Reserve Bank of Australia’s policy path.
