Virojt Changyencham/iStock via Getty Images Precious metal prices tend to rise when the U.S. dollar ( DXY ) falls, and vice versa. In late January 2026, gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) and silver ( XAGUSD:CUR ) prices reached record highs, and the U.S. dollar index fell to the lowest level since February 2022. On Thursday, January 29, gold and silver prices reached peaks where they ran out of upside steam. Two days earlier, on January 27, the dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against other world reserve currencies, found a bottom from which it has begun to recover. The Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund ETF ( UUP ) moves in tandem with the U.S. dollar index. A parabolic move in precious metals leads to an ugly correction Gold and silver are the world’s oldest means of exchange. Long before there were dollars, euros, pounds, yen, and other reserve currencies, gold and silver were money. This historical significance underscores their continued relevance in today’s markets. While gold has been appreciating since the turn of this century, in 2025, gold and silver posted gains of 64.37% and 141.44%. Gold settled at $4,341.10 on December 31, 2025, with silver at $70.603 per ounce. The buying continued in January, lifting gold and silver to new record highs. Monthly COMEX Gold Futures Chart (Barchart) The monthly chart shows that gold’s price rose 29.6% from the 2025 closing level to $5,626.80 on January 29, then corrected 21.4% to a low of $4,423.20 per ounce on February 2, 2026. Monthly COMEX Silver Futures Chart (Barchart) The monthly chart shows that silver’s price rose 72.5% from the 2025 closing level to $121.785 on January 29, before correcting 47.5% to a low of $63.90 per ounce on February 6, 2026. While gold rebounded to above $5,000 and silver to over $83 per ounce on February 9 and are comfortably above the 2025 closing prices, the long-overdue corrections did some damage to the parabolic rallies. Market participants bought gold and silver as the dollar we...

運輸策略藍圖｜運輸署解釋「預約公共交通」非網約服務 仍受制特定小巴巴士路線 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】運輸及物流局上周公布運輸策略藍圖，其中一項建議研究推行「預約公共交通」的可行性，年中會於一條小巴路線測試，運輸署解釋新模式並非個人化網約服務，仍會受制於特定小巴及巴士路線。 政府公布運輸策略藍圖，提及年中於小巴測試按需求營運的公共交通模式，運輸署解釋適用於特定場景如通宵時段及偏遠地區的專營巴士及小巴路線。運輸署助理署長黃志光指，智慧交通基金有項目資助研發機構與小巴營運商合作，測試乘客利用應用程式輸入乘車時間及上落車地點，承辦商因應客量調配車輛到站載客。 運輸署助理署長（巴士及鐵路）黃志光：「配對乘客到同一個地點，可以用盡巴士，乘客角度也可以更快回家，相對更有彈性，營辦商調配車輛知道需求更貼合乘客。」 黃志光又強調新模式與個人化網約車不同，「和網約車不同，是受制於特定路線，不會突然看到架車出現行駛不應該去的地方，上客點仍然是上客點，但是較多人上，另一個併合就是營辦商可以派車到該站點。」 黃志光又澄清，新模式下調配車輛並非專車，中途站候車乘客可如常乘搭，而新模式牽涉平台會研究法例框架規範，及監管公交服務形式上如何與時並進。

What Happened? Shares of computer processor maker AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) jumped 3.7% in the afternoon session after investor optimism about its position in the artificial intelligence (AI) market continued, building on gains from a recent rally. The move extended a surge from the previous trading session when the stock jumped on the growing realization that major tech companies would need AMD as a "second source" to meet the high demand for AI chips. This rally also represented a rebound for the stock, which had tumbled after its latest earnings report despite the results beating estimates. That report highlighted strong fundamentals, with the company's data center segment growing 32% over the previous year, driven by strong demand for its EPYC processors and Instinct accelerators. The positive move also occurred amid a broader rally in the technology sector. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $216.04, up 4% from previous close. Is now the time to buy AMD? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free. What Is The Market Telling Us AMD’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 33 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 3 days ago when the stock gained 7.7% on the news that the stock rebounded from a steep plunge that was triggered by its recent earnings report. The initial sell-off, which saw the stock fall by more than 20%, occurred despite the company reporting strong fourth-quarter results. During that quarter, sales grew 34% and earnings per share rose 40% compared to the previous year, beating expectations. However, the company's forecast for the first quarter disappointed investors. AMD projected sales of about $9.8 billion, which signaled a slowdown from its record fourth quarter. This guidance did not meet the high growth expectations investor...

The tech industry witnessed a dramatic shift as the wealth of several top tech billionaires plummeted due to fears over the AI bubble and fluctuating valuations. Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, experienced a staggering $59.2 billion loss in his net worth since the beginning of the year, with $19 billion of that occurring just this week. The selloff was exacerbated by developments such as Anthropic’s new legal AI tool, which caused a nearly 4% drop in the S&P 500 software and services index. The wealth of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos also took a hit, falling by $14 billion in the same period.

Tech Titans Face Unprecedented Wealth Erosion The recent selloff has led to a collective $62 billion loss among the industry’s wealthiest figures this year. AppLovin’s founders, including CEO Adam Foroughi, saw the most significant relative declines, with Foroughi losing 31% of his net worth, amounting to $7.8 billion, reports the Fortune. Despite the AI advancements that have propelled companies like Nvidia to the forefront, even its CEO, Jensen Huang, faced a $7 billion reduction in wealth this week. Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer also saw a $5 billion decline. What's Behind The AI Wealth Collapse? The tech sector’s rapid growth and the AI boom have created immense wealth but also heightened vulnerability to market volatility. “Second thoughts” around AI deals, such as Oracle’s cloud deal with OpenAI, have previously led to significant losses for Ellison, illustrating the sector’s unpredictability.

What Happened? Shares of enterprise software giant Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) jumped 10.3% in the afternoon session after it received an upgrade from D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria, who raised his rating from Hold to Buy while maintaining a bullish price target. Luria constructed a compelling argument that the clouds of uncertainty over the AI landscape were parting. He specifically highlighted a strategic realignment by OpenAI, noting that the AI pioneer was refocusing on its core models and strengthening ties with infrastructure partners rather than competing against them. This narrative provided crucial validation for Oracle's aggressive spending. Is now the time to buy Oracle? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free. What Is The Market Telling Us Oracle’s shares are very volatile and have had 25 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Oracle and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock dropped 5.9% on the news that the "AI replacement" narrative reached a fever pitch following the release of new models from Anthropic and OpenAI. The simultaneous debut of Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 and OpenAI's "Frontier" agent platform raised concerns that autonomous agents are no longer just tools, but new operating systems that can cannibalize traditional software. This suggests that specialized applications might be reduced to mere features within frontier models, rendering legacy seat-based licensing models increasingly obsolete. The catalyst is the models' unprecedented agentic power. Opus 4.6’s "software hunting" capability allows it to autonomously audit and patch complex codebases, while OpenAI's Frontier platform bypasses traditional CRM and ticketing interfaces to perform enterprise work directly.
