Silver’s $60 floor should hold unless gold breaks first. A structural physical-market deficit gives the $60–60.44 zone real backing, but the most credible path to a break runs through a hawkish Fed SEP, gold losing its $4,230–4,254 support, and the Gold/Silver ratio magnifying the fallout.
The CLARITY Act cloture vote has three possible market outcomes, not two—a clean win, a constructive near miss, or a wide defeat—and Bitcoin and Ethereum don’t need final enactment today, just evidence the legislative process hasn’t stalled.

GBP/JPY enters a back-to-back central-bank week with three independent arguments for a rebound—the BoE’s hawkish bloc has little room to retreat, a fully priced BoJ hike may give Yen no new information, and the pair is oversold at a two-layer technical support zone—creating an asymmetric setup where the bullish threshold is lower than the bearish one.
