Francisco Zalez/iStock via Getty Images By Kelvin Wong Silver is the top asset performer so far Fig. 1: Year-to-date performances of major cross assets as of Jan 26, 2026 (Source: MacroMicro) Silver ( XAGUSD:CUR ) has soared as expected, cleared above the highlighted US$90.90 trigger level, and hit our intermediate resistance level of US$101.15 as highlighted in our previous analysis. Among the major cross-asset classes, silver has emerged as the top-performing asset. Based on year-to-date performance as of Monday, January 26, 2026, spot silver (London Bullion Market Association) has recorded a stellar gain of 52.3% (see Fig. 1). It even surpassed spot gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) (+16.6%) by around three times due to its higher beta factor, supported by a continuation of the weakening US dollar trend since January 15, 2026 and elevated geopolitical risk premium reinforced by an expansionary/aggressive US White House’s foreign policy. On the Monday, January 26 US session, silver soared to a fresh intraday all-time high of US$117.54, before it tumbled swiftly 13% in the next four hours to hit an intraday low of US$102.52 on Tuesday, January 27 Asian session. Silver has recovered partially with an intraday gain of 8.6% to trade at US$112.72 at the time of writing. Let’s now dissect the latest short-term (1 to 3 days) trajectory of silver from a technical analysis perspective. Short-term trend bias (1 to 3 days): Bullish; remains supported by ascending trendline Fig. 2: Silver (XAG/USD) minor trend as of Jan 27, 2026 (Source: TradingView) Fig. 3: Silver (XAG/USD) medium-term trend as of Jan 14, 2026 (Source: TradingView) Despite the latest 13% plunge, silver has continued to trade above a key minor ascending trendline in place since the 8 January 2026 low of US$73.84, now acting as a support at around US$99.39. Hence, watch the 99.39 short-term pivotal support to maintain the minor bullish impulsive up move sequence for the next intermediate resistances to come in at US$119.54/...

The neocloud operator got some love from Wall Street. Shares of CoreWeave (CRWV +12.60%) rallied Tuesday morning, gaining as much as 13.7%. As of 11:51 a.m. ET, the stock was still up 12.7%. The catalyst that sent the artificial intelligence (AI) and neocloud specialist higher was a couple of bullish takes from Wall Street analysts. Feeling the love In a regulatory filing yesterday, Nvidia revealed it had nearly doubled its investment in CoreWeave to more than 47 million shares, in a stake valued at $4.6 billion as of Monday's close. That amounts to an 11.5% stake in the company and represents 90% of Nvidia's equity portfolio. On the heels of that revelation, Wall Street is weighing in. First, D.A. Davidson analyst Alex Platt upgraded CoreWeave to buy from neutral (hold), while raising his price target from $68 to $100, representing potential upside of about 2%. The analyst was playing catch-up after CoreWeave rallied 7% in yesterday's trading on the Nvidia news. After being skeptical of the stock, the analyst writes, "We find it hard to believe that Nvidia would not only increase their common stock position in CoreWeave but also agree to a backstop arrangement in a 5-gigawatt (GW) buildout plan if they too didn't believe OpenAI raises enough capital to fulfill their near-term commitments to CoreWeave." Not to be outdone, Deutsche Bank analyst Brad Zelnick upgraded CoreWeave to buy from hold, raising his price target to $140 from $100, representing potential upside of 42%. The analyst cited its strategic partnership with Nvidia -- which gives CoreWeave access to Nvidia's latest AI chips -- and the acceleration of CoreWeave's path to 5GW as reasons for his bullish call.

Harry Brook’s first masterpiece of the winter, lost in defeat, seems an age ago. It was in his side’s first one-day international against New Zealand back in October, his 101-ball 135 somehow landing in the middle of nine single-figure England scores. The nightclub bouncer’s punch followed, the Ashes tour went wrong and then came the reveal of the former. A lot has happened, but moments of genius in the middle always lurk close by when it comes to Brook. Here, in their final ODI of the winter, he brought it all together with an unbeaten 136 off 66 balls, taking England to a prized series victory in Sri Lanka, the decider won by 53 runs. Brook’s carnage – nine sixes to go with 11 fours – meant Joe Root’s 20th ODI century was relegated to a supporting act, Jacob Bethell’s 65 ending up as a cameo. A target of 358 was monstrous, and Sri Lanka gave it a serious go up top, reaching 100 inside 10 overs. Pathum Nissanka, with a 24-ball half-century, and Kusal Mendis, 20 off his first eight deliveries, laid into Jamie Overton in the powerplay. But the quick also managed to attract the fatal big shot: the former pulled to the catcher in the deep, the latter found Brook at mid-off. The partnerships did not build even as the boundaries continued, regular wickets and more catches for Brook giving England control. Pavan Rathnayake, 23 years old and playing just his seventh international match, was the consolation for Sri Lanka, the right-hander’s promise leading to a first century for his country. A single through extra cover off Liam Dawson in the 43rd over brought the Premadasa great joy, and Rathnayake refused to give in, threatening to do it all himself. His was the final wicket to fall as England celebrated their first ODI series victory abroad in three years. After losing the toss in England’s six previous ODIs, Brook finally had it go his way and elected to bat. Having called the ragging Colombo pitch on Saturday “probably the worst” he’d played on, he was critical once ag...

Daniel Grizelj/DigitalVision via Getty Images The market remains strong in 2026 and has recovered from a temporary setback on Greenland-related tariff uncertainty. At present, the S&P 500 ( SPY ) carries a lofty PE ratio of 31.4, which doesn’t give me much comfort by way of a margin of safety. Margin of safety investing is a notion advocated by value investors like Warren Buffett. As he put it, it’s analogous to building a bridge strong enough for 30,000 pounds but only driving 10,000-pound trucks over it. This brings me to PVH Corp. ( PVH ), which at the current price of $62.03, trades at a very low forward P/E of under 6x. As shown below, PVH not only trades near its 52-week low of $59.28 but also near its 5-year low of $50, as shown below. PVH Stock 1-Yr Trend (Seeking Alpha) In this article, I highlight PVH, including recent business results , and discuss why it’s currently an attractively valued " Buy" for potentially strong total returns, so let’s dig in! Why PVH? PVH Corp. is a leading global apparel company best known for owning and operating Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, two of the most recognizable names in fashion. It has roots tracing back to its founding in 1881. Today, it’s a diversified global fashion powerhouse selling apparel, accessories, and lifestyle products across more than 40 countries. Recently, PVH has been focused on divesting non-core and underperforming brands to concentrate on its flagship names. This includes elevating its brand desirability with innovation in Calvin Klein’s underwear and denim franchises. PVH has also focused on Tommy’s lifestyle categories with the support of celebrity ambassadors and digitally amplified campaigns. PVH has also responded to changing consumer shopping preferences with expanded e-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels. Judging by PVH’s low forward P/E valuation of just 5.6, one might assume that its sales are falling off a cliff. That’s far from the case, however, as PVH saw less than a 1% YoY sale...

Visma-Lease a Bike have reminded amateur cyclists of the dangers of interacting with professional riders on the road following the revelation that Jonas Vingegaard crashed on Monday after being tailed by a fan during a descent near Málaga, Spain. “Jonas Vingegaard crashed during training on Monday. Fortunately, he is OK and did not sustain any serious injuries,” read a team statement. “In general, as a team we would like to urge fans on bikes to always put safety first. For both your own and others’ wellbeing, please allow riders to train and give them as much space and peace as possible.” Vingegaard’s crash came to light after amateur cyclist Pedro García Fernández posted on his Strava account that he had followed the Dane, and also posted pictures of his own descent behind the 29-year-old. Fernández wrote that Vingegaard had “crashed while trying to drop me on the descent of Fuente la Reina” and, after stopping to check on the two-time Tour de France champion, said that Vingegaard “got angry with me for following him down the hill”. Fernández said in his post: “You can be a professional, but you can also be humble. He was going fast to drop me and ended up on the ground. I don’t make a living from this, and I’m just an amateur like most people, so I don’t understand his anger as a professional about it.” Another amateur cyclist claimed to be a witness to the aftermath of the crash. A Strava user named S.Enduro, commenting on Fernández’s post, claimed that he had found Vingegaard with a bleeding face on the side of the road. “You both passed me coming down, and as I was almost at the last bend, I found Jonas by the guardrail, his face bleeding in two places,” read the comment. “He must have hit it hard to drag his face along the ground. I stopped too and asked him if he needed help, and he told me no, to go away, very angry. Now I understand. “It’s clear he’s the professional and responsible for how he goes up or down, but I also think that people like him, who are...

Earnings Call Insights: NBT Bancorp Inc. (NBTB) Q4 2025 Management View President and CEO Scott Kingsley reported that "our operating performance for the fourth quarter continued to reflect the positive attributes of productive fixed rate asset repricing trends, the diversification of our revenue streams, prudent balance sheet growth and the additive impact of our merger with Evans Bancorp completed in the second quarter." Kingsley indicated operating return on assets was 1.37% and return on tangible equity was 17.02%, with tangible book value per share at $26.54 at year-end, up 11% year-over-year. He emphasized "growth in noninterest income continues to be a highlight with each of our nonbanking businesses achieving record results in both revenue and earnings generation for 2025." Kingsley announced the repurchase of 250,000 shares in the fourth quarter and noted the company's "transition and integration activities over the past 8 months with the team members who joined us from Evans Bank have been highly successful." Executive VP & CFO Annette Burns stated, "for the fourth quarter, we reported net income of $55.5 million or $1.06 per diluted common share." Burns added, "revenue generation remained favorable and consistent with the prior quarter and grew 25% from the fourth quarter of the prior year, driven by improvements in both net interest income and noninterest income, including the impact of the Evans merger." Outlook Kingsley addressed loan growth expectations, stating, "I think... the mid- to lower single-digit growth rate [is] a good number for '26," while noting the presence of an $800 million runoff loan portfolio moving downward about $100 million a year. Burns commented on margin expectations: "Our net interest margin for the fourth quarter decreased 1 basis point to 3.65% compared with the prior quarter... the opportunity for further upward movement and earning asset yields will depend on the shape of the yield curve and how we reinvest loan and inves...

imaginima/iStock via Getty Images Over the years, Bitfarms Ltd. ( BITF ) hasn't been made the list of my favorite Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) miners, but I’ve followed the company closely, hoping for a turnaround. I saw potential in mid-2024, when a hostile takeover bid was floated between Bitfarms and Riot , when Riot ( RIOT ) offered $2.30 per share for Bitfarms. One would have naturally thought the $2.30 price would have been the new floor for BITF. But that floor broke after the takeover offer was rejected, and the stock slid below $1 at one point in 2025. I downgraded BITF to a Hold following the coverage around the takeover bid, and maintained a cautious Hold stance in my subsequent coverage of the stock throughout 2025. My BITF rating history (Seeking Alpha) Moving on, some historical context is needed as to what went down operationally at Bitfarms in the past few quarters for an explanation into today, how those developments have affected shareholders, before an update into potential growth drivers and any potential headwinds to be aware of. Bitfarms - Surviving The Dilution Bitcoin miners are known to be dilutive, but Bitfarms has operated on another scale over the years. Since that Riot takeover bid mid-2024, Bitfarms has weaponized lots of equity to fund a total balance sheet overhaul. While this has effectively saved the company from bankruptcy and a hostile takeover, it lowered per-share value for long-term holders a lot. At the time of the Riot bid, there were roughly 400 million shares outstanding. By the end of Q3 2025, that number jumped to 557 million shares ( Q3 2025 MDA ). In October, the 2024 ATM program was closed and the last batch of 165 million shares issued since March 2024 in the ATM run in that final month were issued. Today, more shares have trickled in from RSUs and the settlement with Riot Platforms, as we are now staring at ~600 million shares outstanding. But the dilution story is not over there yet because Bitfarms raised another $588 milli...

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a "Morning Meeting" livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here's a recap of Tuesday's key moments. 1. Stocks are having a mixed session on Tuesday as investors await a slate of earnings this week, including Microsoft and Meta on Wednesday and Apple on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep interest rates steady at its meeting on Wednesday. A notable gainer in Tuesday's session is Corning . The glass manufacturer's shares surged more than 16% after inking a $6 billion deal with Meta to supply fiber-optic cables for its AI data centers. Elsewhere, cloud software provider Salesforce announced Monday that it was awarded a 10-year Army contract worth $5.6 billion to modernize the military's war-readiness practices. Yet the deal wasn't enough to lift the stock price, which has been plagued by the narrative that artificial intelligence poses an existential risk to enterprise software. 2. Shares of consumer-packaged goods company Procter & Gamble opened nearly 1% lower after catching a downgrade from TD Cowen. The firm dropped its rating to hold from buy while increasing its price target to $156 from $150. The analysts forecast "subdued growth" over the next one to two years due to a lack of pricing power in the core U.S. market and consumer spending concerns. But Jim Cramer took a more nuanced view on Procter, noting that with the weaker U.S. dollar, "Procter & Gamble is going to have just incredible year-over-year comparisons." This matters for the company because a weak dollar boosts the value of international sales, and Procter does a lot of business abroad. 3. Starbucks reports earnings on Wednesday, followed by its investor day on Thursday. We downgraded the coffee chain on Monday to a 2-rating after its big 14.5% run to start the year. Jim explained that unless the company reports great earnings, the stock may go down. CEO Brian Niccol is likely to emphasize a multi-year turnaround, not ...

Colombia’s finance ministry has stepped up dollar purchases in the spot market since Friday, after the peso hit is strongest level in almost five years. Authorities bought around $250 million on Friday and $410 million on Monday, said Gilberto Hernandez-Gomez , a strategist at BBVA in New York, matching estimates by local traders. The move is in line with a government strategy to prioritize cash holdings in foreign currencies, a plan outlined by public credit director Javier Cuellar in an interview published Tuesday with local outlet Valora Analitk. The Colombian finance ministry didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The purchases pushed the peso down more than 2% between Friday and Monday, lagging emerging market peers. It swung between gains and losses on Tuesday, even as the dollar hit its weakest level since 2022, boosting almost every single currency in the developing world. Read More: Dollar Sinks to Lowest Level in Four Years as US Risks Grow Traders expect the peso to remain one of the most volatile in emerging markets over the coming three months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “Flows were a key driver,” analysts at BBVA wrote in a report on Tuesday. The finance ministry is buying greenbacks in the spot market while continuing to sell dollar forwards, they added, “a strategy that seems aimed at rebuilding USD balances.” Colombia, which holds presidential elections this year, has increasingly come into focus for investors as Cuellar implements an unorthodox debt strategy aimed at reducing the country’s debt burden and cutting borrowing. Read more: At Least 60 Pimco Funds Bought Colombian Local Bonds in December The plan has included a $9 billion total return swap, aggressive debt buybacks in both dollars and pesos, two issuances of eurobonds, and most recently, a $6 billion private placement of local notes and another sale of global bonds just two weeks ago.

Meta Platforms (META) will release its fourth-quarter financial results on Wednesday, Jan. 28. Over the past three months, Meta shares have fallen about 10%, trailing the broader market and reflecting growing concerns about the company’s near-term profit outlook. Operationally, Meta’s core business continues to perform well. The company is seeing steady growth in active users and engagement across its family of apps, and advertising revenue remains resilient. These fundamentals reflect the durability of Meta’s social media platforms and their key role in driving advertising revenue. However, the stock’s recent underperformance is due to Meta’s aggressive investment, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI). The company is ramping up capital expenditures to expand its AI infrastructure and capabilities, a strategy management views as critical for long-term competitiveness. In the short term, though, this elevated spending has raised concerns about margin pressure and earnings volatility. Those worries are amplified by broader market fears that the AI sector may be entering an investment bubble. Despite the concerns, Meta’s AI initiatives are already showing tangible benefits. Its AI recommendation systems are becoming more effective at delivering relevant, high-quality content, boosting user engagement in turn. Higher engagement supports ad impressions and pricing, helping offset some of the financial impact of increased investment. This dynamic suggests that while costs are rising, Meta is also strengthening the engine that drives its core revenue. Ahead of earnings, derivative traders are pricing in a post-earnings move of 5.7% in Meta stock in either direction for options expiring Jan. 30. The expected swing is smaller than Meta’s average post-earnings move of 7.1% over the past four quarters. Note that Meta shares tumbled 11.3% following its third-quarter earnings report.

Mikel Arteta explained he held a meeting with Arsenal's players after the defeat by Manchester United to "bring the temperature down" - as he promised "beautiful" things lie ahead. A 3-2 loss against United on Sunday was Arsenal's first home defeat of the season and just their third in the Premier League after 23 games. The Gunners are four points clear of Manchester City and Aston Villa but are without a win in their three most recent domestic league matches after draws against Nottingham Forest and Liverpool. Yet Arteta said the reaction in the team meeting was "excellent", and he believes that bodes well for prospects of success in the remainder of the season. "We took a moment to bring the temperature down, to pause and to reflect and ask two questions: one is, how do we feel, and how do I feel myself? And then, how are we going to live the next four months? "And it was so encouraging and beautiful because what came out of that is very simple." The Arsenal manager issued his message in a news conference before the home match against Kairat in the Champions League, which takes place on Wednesday. Arsenal are top of the tree in Europe, with seven wins from seven, while their visitors from Kazakhstan sit bottom of the group phase table. A first Premier League title since 2004 remains firmly in Arsenal's sights, with domestic cup success and a tilt at the Champions League trophy also in the picture. Arteta said: "We have earned the right to be in a great position in four competitions, and in the next four months we're going to live and play with enjoyment, with a lot of courage and with the conviction that we're going to win it. "And this is going to be the mindset and where we're going to put the energy. And I'm just hoping that everybody that is related to this club, especially our supporters, jump on that boat because this is the way that we're going to live the next four months because we deserve to live like this."

I know it’s almost impossible to turn your eyes away from the Trump show, but that’s the point. His antics, ever-grosser and more preposterous, are designed to keep him in our minds, to crowd out other issues. His insatiable craving for attention is a global-threat multiplier. You can’t help wondering whether there’s anything he wouldn’t do to dominate the headlines. But we must tear ourselves away from the spectacle, for there are other threats just as critical that also require our attention. Just because you’re not hearing about them doesn’t mean they’ve gone away. Why are they not salient? Partly because countries – and not just Trump’s – seem determined to keep us in the dark. The most important document published by the UK government since the general election emerged last week only through a freedom of information request. The national security assessment on biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse was supposed to have been published in October 2025, but the apparatchiks in Downing Street sought to make it disappear. Apparently there were two reasons: because its conclusions were “too negative”, and because it would draw attention to the government’s failure to act. When the report at last appeared, thanks to an FoI request lodged by the Green Alliance, The Times reported that it had been significantly “abridged”, I expect by the same goons. Some of its starkest conclusions had been omitted. Even so, the assessment – believed to have been compiled by the joint intelligence committee (on which the heads of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ sit) – is not exactly reassuring. It echoes warnings some of us have made for years, only to be dismissed as nutters, doomsayers and extremists. It tells us that “ecosystem degradation is occurring across all regions. Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse (irreversible loss of function beyond repair).” This presents a threat to “UK national security and prosperity”. It says “the world is already experiencing impacts including...
