Gold & Silver Morning Update 12/30/2025 | The Bregar Minute
More strength than I expected for the precious metals overnight; thanks to more demand at the China open, but perhaps more importantly due to the Chinese government announcing subsidies for electronic vehicles, phones, tablets, smartwatches and smart glasses…all of which consume silver. Past rounds of similar subsidies have led to immediate sales surges, and so we’re now seeing silver fight off this morning’s attempted metal slam in Europe and instead lead the precious metals higher. Silver’s breakout back above its Asia high / 55hr moving average, and spot gold’s regain of the October high, are now very positive technical developments with the potential to nullify yesterday’s short-top thesis if they hold into the NY close. Up next are the algorithmic trading flows at 8amET, 8:20amET (COMEX open), 9amET, and 9:30amET (stock market open), followed by the December Chicago PMI number at 9:42-45amET, and the FOMC Minutes at 2pmET.
