2. Trump delays tariffs on critical minerals

On January 15, silver prices fell by 7.3% at one point but later recovered most of the losses, though the decline has resumed, currently down over 5%. Trump did not impose tariffs on imports of critical minerals, including silver and platinum, and stated that he would resolve the issue through bilateral negotiations, while also proposing the idea of setting a price floor. Market concerns over tariffs have led to some metals being hoarded in U.S. warehouses, with approximately 434 million ounces of silver held in warehouses related to futures trading on the New York Commodity Exchange, an increase of about 100 million ounces from a year ago. StoneX Group analyst Rhona O’Connell pointed out that the outflow of silver from the U.S. may be hindered as it remains on Trump's list of critical minerals. OCBC strategist Christopher Wong believes that the medium-term outlook for silver is positive, but recent price volatility requires caution. -Original

3. Bank of America CEO warns that interest-bearing stablecoins could impact $6 trillion in deposits

Moynihan noted that the structure of stablecoins is similar to money market mutual funds, holding reserves in short-term instruments like U.S. Treasury bonds rather than being used for bank loans, which could weaken the deposit base that banks rely on to support loans to households and businesses. The CLARITY Act proposes controversial provisions that prohibit digital asset service providers from paying interest on stablecoins held by users while allowing rewards based on staking, liquidity, or collateral. -Original
