Angelika Warmuth | Reuters Silver prices slid as much as 16% on Thursday, snapping a two-day rebound, as the white metal continues to reel from excessive volatility. Spot silver prices are were last down 13% at $76.97 per ounce, while futures in New York were over 8% lower at $77.28 per ounce. Silver had been on a record-breaking spree before crashing almost 30% last Friday. In 2025, it gained about 146%, data from LSEG showed. Analysts point to speculative flows, leveraged positioning and options-driven trading, rather than physical demand, as key drivers of the recent price swings. "As prices fell, dealer hedging flipped from buying into strength to selling into weakness, investor stop-outs were triggered, and losses cascaded through the system," Goldman Sachs said in a note on Wednesday. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon Silver prices in the past one year Silver's correction has been larger than gold's due to tighter liquidity conditions in the London market, which magnified price swings. Goldman added that the timing of the volatility suggested Western flows, rather than Chinese speculation, are behind much of the build-up and unwind, noting that most of the more violent moves occurred while Chinese futures markets were closed. The volatility in silver prices has drawn growing comparisons to meme stocks such as GameStop, the video-game retailer that became a global phenomenon in 2021 after retail traders on Reddit piled in en masse, sending its shares soaring far beyond what traditional valuation models could justify. Rhona O'Connell, head of market Intelligence at StoneX, warned that prices had detached from sustainable levels. "Silver was massively over-valued and in a self-fulfilling frenzy; it is however notoriously fickle and its history is littered with examples of price cra...

Earnings Call Insights: DHI Group, Inc. (DHX) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Art Zeile highlighted a pivotal quarter for ClearanceJobs, stating “the fourth quarter marked an inflection point. Bookings returned to positive year-over-year growth in the quarter, following a decline in the third quarter. This improvement reflects both market tailwinds and improved sales execution following leadership changes earlier in the year.” He underscored the integration of AgileATS, noting, “we have doubled its revenue in less than 6 months.” Zeile announced the pilot of a premium candidate subscription for ClearanceJobs, with broader rollout planned in 2026, describing early results as “encouraging, validating the concept as a new recurring revenue stream.” Zeile addressed Dice’s challenges, explaining “Dice’s performance in the fourth quarter improved in that the rate of decline narrowed, but both bookings and revenue were still down year-over-year.” He pointed to increased AI-related demand: “At the end of 2025, 55% of Dice job postings required AI-related skills, up from 28% a year earlier.” Zeile also confirmed a new $10 million share repurchase program: “our Board authorized a new $10 million buyback program starting this month.” CFO Greg Schippers reported, “we reported total revenue of $32.4 million for the fourth quarter, which was down 10% on a year-over-year basis and roughly flat compared to the third quarter.” Schippers noted “ClearanceJobs revenue was $13.9 million, up 1% year-over-year and flat sequentially.

Key Points Jensen Huang said that AI will use existing software platforms as tools. A number of large software stocks are down more than 25% from recent peaks. Thus far, earnings reports from software companies have been solid. 10 stocks we like better than Microsoft › Software stocks have been tumbling this year, and the reason is clear. Investors are suddenly afraid that AI will disrupt software, and there are signs that tools like Anthropic's Claude Cowork is already threatening to do so. Software stocks related to legal work, for example, plunged on Tuesday after the AI start-up released a new productivity tool for in-house lawyers. This theory was summed up by John Zito of the private equity giant Apollo Global Management, who told an audience last fall that the real risk of AI was, "Is software dead?" Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » This year, the AI disruption theory has clearly gained steam with the iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF (NYSEMKT: IGV), which tracks most of the major software stocks, down 21% year-to-date, with a majority of those losses coming in the last week. However, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang pushed back on that notion in an interview on Tuesday at the Cisco AI Summit, saying, "This notion that the software industry is in decline and being replaced by AI (is) the most illogical thing in the world and time will prove itself." As he sees it, AI will use existing tools rather than reinventing them, so he expects AI to run with the help of existing software platforms. As the leader of the company driving the AI boom, Huang may have his finger on the pulse of AI more than anyone else. Taking a cue from him, let's look at three software stocks that look like smart buys after the recent sell-off. 1. Microsoft Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has dominated enterprise software for more than a generation, and is much more tha...

The Malaysian ringgit, Asia’s top performing currency in the past year, still has potential to gain as the economy continues to perform strongly, Second Finance Minister Amir Hamzah Azizan said, indicating that growth forecasts may be revised higher. The ringgit was undervalued last year and the market was reacting to that, Amir said in an interview with Bloomberg TV’s Avril Hong on Thursday in Kuala Lumpur. Inflows into equity and bond markets in January strengthened the ringgit, and the currency will continue to follow the same trajectory, he added. “I think the ringgit still has potential because growth is still intact in this country and it’s still growing well,” he said, four months after a similar interview in which he correctly predicted that the currency would strengthen past 4 ringgit versus the dollar. The currency pared losses as he spoke, and was trading about 0.4% lower against the dollar at 12:35 p.m. in Kuala Lumpur, amid a decline in most Asian currencies. Malaysia’s economy has proved resilient against US tariffs, for now, prompting the central bank to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged since July. The economy is pulling ahead of much of Southeast Asia as domestic demand stays resilient and investment flows into electronics, data centers and energy transition projects help offset turmoil in global trade. Growth hit 4.9% in 2025, better than the government’s forecast of a 4% to 4.8% expansion. It expects growth to moderate to 4% to 4.5% though this year, though Amir said he was optimistic of an upward revision to the forecast when Bank Negara Malaysia reviews the estimate in the next few months. At the same time, he said he saw no catalyst for inflation to creep up this year. Government efforts to strengthen the country’s economic fundamentals are bearing fruit. The ringgit has risen 3% this year after gaining around 10% in 2025. The rally is being driven by a range of structural factors beyond the dollar’s broad weakness, such as rising inve...
