AI desk brief

December silver futures reached $52.98 an ounce by 9:25 a.m. ET on November 5, 2026, after opening at $52.32. The source reports silver gained about 5% Wednesday, while gold futures rose more than 3% above $4,000 as the dollar slipped following the midterms; continued dollar weakness could support metals. The rebound followed substantial losses: through Tuesday, silver was 57% below its January high and gold about 26% below its January 29 record. Silver’s Thursday opening level remained 15% below a month earlier, tempering the rebound’s significance.
