Silver price loses ground despite safe-haven demand following US tariffs.
Trump’s 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports heightens the threat of a wider trade dispute.
Safe-haven demand increases as Middle East tensions escalate, following Trump’s call for Israel to end its ceasefire with Hamas.
Silver price (XAG/USD) retraces its recent gains, trading around $31.80 per troy ounce during the European session on Tuesday. However, the downside of the metal price could be restrained as safe-haven demand for precious metals surged amid increased risk aversion following the latest US tariffs.
US President Donald Trump imposed a flat 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports on Monday, removing all exemptions and nullifying previous trade agreements with key United States (US) allies. The move is intended to support struggling domestic industries but increases the risk of a broader trade conflict.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East could support the prices of the safe-haven Silver. President Trump has urged Israel to end its ceasefire with Hamas if hostages are not returned by the weekend, increasing the risk of renewed conflict as both sides accuse each other of violating the agreement.
However, the demand for non-interest-bearing Silver could face challenges as higher interest rates in the United States (US) could last longer. A Reuters poll of economists suggests the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may postpone interest rate cuts until next quarter due to inflation concerns. Many analysts who had anticipated a rate cut in March have now adjusted their forecasts, with most predicting at least one cut by June.
Investors await the release of the latest US inflation figures and comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell later this week, which could influence the outlook for US monetary policy.
Silver FAQs
Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds, which track its price on international markets.
Silver prices can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can make Silver price escalate due to its safe-haven status, although to a lesser extent than Gold’s. As a yieldless asset, Silver tends to rise with lower interest rates. Its moves also depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAG/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Silver at bay, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to propel prices up. Other factors such as investment demand, mining supply – Silver is much more abundant than Gold – and recycling rates can also affect prices.
Silver is widely used in industry, particularly in sectors such as electronics or solar energy, as it has one of the highest electric conductivity of all metals – more than Copper and Gold. A surge in demand can increase prices, while a decline tends to lower them. Dynamics in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also contribute to price swings: for the US and particularly China, their big industrial sectors use Silver in various processes; in India, consumers’ demand for the precious metal for jewellery also plays a key role in setting prices.
Silver prices tend to follow Gold’s moves. When Gold prices rise, Silver typically follows suit, as their status as safe-haven assets is similar. The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one ounce of Gold, may help to determine the relative valuation between both metals. Some investors may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued, or Gold is overvalued. On the contrary, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.
The British pound initially rallied a bit against the Japanese yen, but as you can see, it has given back quite a bit of the gains as this is a market that remains very soft.
You have to keep in mind that the Bank of England just cut interest rates by 25 basis points the other day.
In fact, a couple of people on the monetary policy committee were suggesting we needed to see 50 basis points in cuts.
At the same time, you have the Bank of Japan mulling the idea of tightening monetary policy due to the fact that inflation is a problem in Japan for the first time in like 20 years. So, with that being the case, I do think that there is still more of a downward bias in this pair, perhaps to reach as low as the 185 yen level. Rallies at this point in time, I would treat with suspicion with the 190 yen level being an area I’d pay close attention to. If we can break above there, then we could challenge the 192.75 yen level where the 50 day EMA and the 200 day EMA currently meet and are crossing for the so-called death cross.
Death Cross?
Now I’m not a big figure in that kind of thinking when it comes to trading the death cross, but I know a lot of people are really into it. I don’t believe it so much. I think it’s normally late, but it is worth noting that some traders will look at this as a sign to start selling. If we do break down from here, the 185 yen level is an area that I think a lot of people will be watching closely as it is a large round and psychologically significant figure, but it’s also an area that on longer-term charts does show some promise at being support. If we break down below that level, then 180 yen could be the target. As things stand right now, I think this probably makes more sense as a fade the rally type of situation.
Magnesium has recently been touted as a potential treatment for a wide range of health issues, from high blood pressure to migraine to anxiety.
Many people don’t get enough magnesium, partly because so much of the food we eat is processed, said Marie van der Merwe, PhD, coordinator of the applied physiology and nutrition doctoral program at the University of Memphis College of Health Sciences.
Research suggests as much as 80% of the magnesium found in some foods is lost when food is processed. This might be why 79% of Americans don’t get enough of the mineral through their diet.
While magnesium is an essential nutrient, you should check with a healthcare provider before adding the supplement to your regimen to treat any new symptoms you’re experiencing.
“Supplements can be helpful, although it’s best to review with a provider first,” Julia Zumpano, RD, a dietitian at Cleveland Clinic, told Verywell. Magnesium supplements can interact with certain medications, or they may not be a good fit as a treatment for the symptoms you’re experiencing.
What Does Magnesium Do for the Body?
“Magnesium is a co-factor for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body,” said Amber Core, MDN, RD, a dietitian at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
These include protein synthesis, blood pressure and blood glucose regulation, muscle and nerve function, and DNA and RNA synthesis. Magnesium also supports the structure component of bones, Core explained.
If you’re low on magnesium, you may start feeling less than your best. “Having lower magnesium creates a negative feedback loop” in the body, van der Merwe said. “It’s like a domino effect,” she added.
Magnesium deficiency might be seen in people under a lot of stress, van der Merwe explained.
“Typically magnesium is inside your cells, but what happens when you’re under stress is the magnesium moves from inside the cell to outside the cell in your bloodstream, and it’s very easy to get excreted through your kidneys,” causing you to be low on magnesium. When this happens, you may notice symptoms like headache or muscle spasms caused by your magnesium levels. This can make your stress even worse and create a vicious cycle.
How Much Magnesium Do You Need?
Women need 310 to 320 milligrams (mg) of magnesium a day, while men need 400 to 420 mg. For reference, one ounce of dry roasted almonds contains 80 mg of magnesium; half a cup of boiled spinach contains 78 mg; and two tablespoons of smooth peanut butter contain 49 mg.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of low magnesium, you should try to increase your magnesium through food.
“I approach nutrition with a ‘food first’ mentality, in that we should get as many nutrients as possible from our foods before adding in supplements as needed,” Core said. “The nutrients in foods are easier for our bodies to use and absorb, as opposed to their elemental form in supplements.”
Legumes, nuts, whole grains, green leafy vegetables, milk, and yogurt are all good sources of magnesium.
What Magnesium Can—and Can’t—Help With
Zumpano said some studies have shown that magnesium supplementation can modestly reduce blood pressure, but more research is needed to confirm the benefit.
Magnesium may also reduce symptoms of anxiety by balancing levels of cortisol, a hormone that affects your stress levels, Zumpano added. Preliminary research also suggests magnesium may help people with mild depression.
Some users on TikTok also claim that daily magnesium supplements can help prevent migraine, but research on this connection is inconclusive. “Some studies show benefit, and some do not,” Zumpano said.
While animal studies have suggested magnesium may impact physical performance—by boosting glucose availability in the brain, muscle, and blood—there’s not enough evidence to show the same benefit in humans.
When Should You Try a Magnesium Supplement?
Experts say that magnesium supplements shouldn’t be used as a cure-all in place of healthy lifestyle habits.
Before you try a supplement, you can try to manage your stress level, prioritize sleep and exercise, and reduce intake of alcohol, caffeine, and processed foods, Zumpano said.
“If you have covered all these bases but are still experiencing concerning [symptoms], that is where supplements can help,” Zumpano added.
If you’re dealing with anxiety, high blood pressure, or migraine, a healthcare provider may suggest medication in addition to—or in place of—supplements.
“While proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are key for preventing a myriad of conditions, you may require medication as a treatment,” Core said. “Supplements can help to improve health, but are not meant to cure any conditions.”
Ultimately, it’s worth talking to a provider before making any changes, no matter how harmless they seem. “Always discuss your concerns with your doctor,” Core said.
What This Means For You
Magnesium is key for many bodily processes, and not getting enough of the mineral can negatively impact your health. But taking a magnesium supplement isn’t a guaranteed way to treat any health conditions or worrisome symptoms. Before taking a magnesium supplement, you should talk to a healthcare provider to make sure it’s the best option for you.
On the hourly chart, the rate of DOGE is coming back to the local support of $0.2558. If sellers’ pressure continues, traders may witness a level breakout, followed by an ongoing correction to the $0.25 zone.
On the bigger time frame, the price of DOGE has made a false breakout of the resistance of $0.2691. If the daily bar closes far from that mark, one can expect a test of the $0.2450-$0.25 area by the end of the week.
For many people, pregnancy is equal parts thrilling and terrifying. For one, you’re growing a tiny human in your body, which is very cool. But growing a tiny human also means a lot of changes and decisions to make regarding your health and the health of your unborn child(ren).
Any considerations and concerns become even more complicated if you’re living with a chronic illness. Many chronic conditions require life-long treatment, and pregnancy may affect the type of medication you take — and if you can even take medication at all.
A registry is a database that collects information on people with specific health conditions. The information can be used to help improve patient care, public health initiatives and research overall.
A pregnancy registry is no different. “Typically, pregnancy registries that are established here or elsewhere in the world are often focused on looking at a particular treatment or set of treatments that might be used for an underlying condition,” said Christina Chambers, Ph.D., MPH, associate director of the Altman Clinical & Translational Research Institute at the University of California, San Diego.
The data collected during a pregnancy registry can be life changing for people living with a chronic illness — especially people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
“People with chronic conditions like MS present a number of challenges in terms of the best treatment and providing the best health outcomes. And then when it comes to pregnancy, there’s a whole set of other questions that come up,” Chambers said.
MS is an autoimmune condition that affects your brain and spinal cord. Most women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) are diagnosed with MS in their reproductive years but research is lacking when it comes to MS and pregnancy. This is because historically disease-modifying therapy trials didn’t include pregnant people. So, if you were enrolled in a trial, you had to quit if you got pregnant.
For a long time, people with MS were told not to get pregnant at all because treatments could potentially harm the unborn child. It wasn’t until 2002 that the FDA required drug manufacturers to create pregnancy registries for people with MS to help gather information on the effect of disease modifying therapies before, during and after pregnancy. The registries also record outcomes including miscarriages and birth defects. In other words, is the medication safe for pregnancy?
“It’s one of the reasons why we do pregnancy registry studies — so people who either find out they’re pregnant or taking the drug or were considering taking it in a future pregnancy can feel relatively reassured that there isn’t evidence to suggest [harm],” Chambers said.
We now know that people with MS can have healthy pregnancies. In fact, studies show that the rate of birth defects are about the same for people with MS compared to people without MS.
Still, there’s little information on the effects of disease modifying therapies and other medications on pregnancy for people with MS. The lack of research overall has left a huge gap in accessible data and many of the newer medications are still in research phases regarding safety and side effects during pregnancy.
Joining a registry can help fill these gaps in information. Chambers noted that different registries have different requirements. Some registries only collect reporting from healthcare providers. Others rely on a combination of reporting from the pregnant person and information from the provider. “All of the ones that we do — and many other ones as well — consider the mother the primary source,” Chambers said.
How and when to sign up can also vary per registry. In many cases, a neurologist or HCP will refer the person to a registry. From there, it’s up to that person to contact the registry and ultimately decide if it’s a good fit. Also, online resources such as MotherToBaby, MSBase Registry and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society can help connect people to open registries. Drug manufacturers may also promote pregnancy registries online.
Chambers said it’s important to learn everything you can early on about the registry and ask questions about the time commitment — some studies can go on for years — and what’s expected from you during that time.
Pregnancy registries and privacy
It’s also important to know who your information will be shared with.The issue of privacy and confidentiality is a valid concern when you’re sharing important details like medical records and personal information. But Chambers said part of the consent process for a registry includes how confidentiality is being protected, how the data is being stored and that no identifiable information is shared outside the staff working on the study. “So nobody could go say, ‘Mrs. So-and-so took part in the study’ — that would not happen,” Chambers said. “[The participant] can feel assured that she’s not going to see her picture or her name in a paper and that her identity is protected throughout the study.”
The one exception is if someone wanted to be part of a testimonial after participating in a registry. But, again, that’s up to the person in the study.
Women helping women
Pregnancy registries provide an opportunity to help other people with MS make educated decisions about pregnancy and treatment. The information collected can even impact decisions made long before a pregnancy is confirmed. That’s pretty powerful stuff. “We hear that over and over again … people saying I’m doing this because I wish I had known or I wish I had this information so I want to make sure that the next person does have it,” Chambers said. “The mom’s who do it — they’re amazing. They are contributing their time and their personal information. It’s a really gracious thing that they do.”

Texas Instruments’ stock price (TXN) fell in the intraday levels, while preparing to pierce the pivotal support of $180.00, amid the dominance of the downward correctional trend in the short term, coupled with negative pressure due to trading below the 50-day SMA, and countered with positive signals from the RSI after reaching oversold levels, curbing upcoming losses.
Therefore we expect more losses for the price, provided the aforementioned support of $180.00 was breached, thus targeting the next one at $166.90.
GBP/USD stays on the back foot, trades slightly above 1.2350 on Tuesday.
The risk-averse market environment makes it difficult for the pair to stage a rebound.

Late Monday, US President Donald Trump has signed an order to impose a sweeping 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the US. He further noted that his administration will look into tariffs on automobiles, microchips, and pharmaceuticals next. Trump is expected to share details on his reciprocal tariff plan “on many countries” this Tuesday or Wednesday.
Reflecting the risk-averse market atmosphere, US stock index futures were last seen losing between 0.2% and 0.4% on the day.
In the early American session, Chairman Powell will testify on the semiannual Monetary Policy Report before the Senate Banking Committee.
Lawmakers are likely to ask Powell about potential changes to the monetary policy and the economic outlook in the face of the Trump administration’s approach to trade relations. If Powell repeats that they need to be cautious regarding further policy easing, the US Dollar (USD) could stay resilient against its peers and limit GBP/USD’s upside. On the other hand, the market mood could improve and cause the USD to come under renewed selling pressure in case Powell notes that tariff decisions announced so far are unlikely to influence inflation developments in a significant way.
GBP/USD Technical Analysis
GBP/USD dropped below the 1.2390-1.2400 area, where the ascending trend line meets the 200-period and the 100-period Simple Moving Averages (SMA). In case this area remains intact as resistance, technical sellers could retain control. On the downside, 1.2300 (round level, static level) could be seen as next support before 1.2270 (Fibonacci 23.6% retracement of the latest downtrend)
GBP/USD could face resistance at 1.2450 (Fibonacci 50% retracement) and 1.2500 (round level, static level) once it manages to recapture 1.2390-1.2400.
Tariffs FAQs
Tariffs are customs duties levied on certain merchandise imports or a category of products. Tariffs are designed to help local producers and manufacturers be more competitive in the market by providing a price advantage over similar goods that can be imported. Tariffs are widely used as tools of protectionism, along with trade barriers and import quotas.
Although tariffs and taxes both generate government revenue to fund public goods and services, they have several distinctions. Tariffs are prepaid at the port of entry, while taxes are paid at the time of purchase. Taxes are imposed on individual taxpayers and businesses, while tariffs are paid by importers.
There are two schools of thought among economists regarding the usage of tariffs. While some argue that tariffs are necessary to protect domestic industries and address trade imbalances, others see them as a harmful tool that could potentially drive prices higher over the long term and lead to a damaging trade war by encouraging tit-for-tat tariffs.
During the run-up to the presidential election in November 2024, Donald Trump made it clear that he intends to use tariffs to support the US economy and American producers. In 2024, Mexico, China and Canada accounted for 42% of total US imports. In this period, Mexico stood out as the top exporter with $466.6 billion, according to the US Census Bureau. Hence, Trump wants to focus on these three nations when imposing tariffs. He also plans to use the revenue generated through tariffs to lower personal income taxes.
KHOST CITY (Pajhwok): A farmer in the Taniayo district of southeastern Khost province has cultivated green tea for the first time and said the result was satisfactory.
Rahmatullah Wali told Pajhwok Afghan News that he experienced green tea cultivation some months ago and now the plant was growing each day.
He hoped that green tea cultivation in the country would play role in the economic development of farmers, people and country.
“I had ordered this from India, I have planted it now and it has been giving good results for two months. I have tried this myself. No one showed me, they just brought me the seeds and I planted them myself. I have planted two or three varieties, I have other plans for them too and I am seeing when they give good results.”
Rahmat Wali said that the relevant agencies should support farmers to expand green tea cultivation in Khost and also encourage other farmers to cultivate green tea on their lands.
He believed that if the relevant responsible agencies cooperate in this regard, this cultivation can be further expanded.
Mohammad Rasoul, another farmer, said Khost is a climate-friendly region for agriculture, so more facilities should be created for farmers.
He said: “Everything gives results in Khost, but there is no one here to bring anything and plant it. Whatever is under our control, we plant it and it gives good results and harvests. If something is experimented in this area, everything gives results, the weather is good.”
Meanwhile, Khost’s Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock Director Sher Mohammad Zabih considers this effort to cultivate green tea a positive one and says that more research will be conducted in this area to identify different types of green tea for farmers.
He said: “Khost, thank God, has the right climate for growing green tea, it has temperatures of up to 40 degrees, it is humid, and it has a lot of rain. So we are hoping for good results, we are constantly asking about the tea that has been planted and giving advice.”
Experts believe that if the green tea cultivation effort is successful, it will open a new chapter in Afghanistan’s agricultural sector and play an important role in the country’s economic strength.
