Silver Prices Plummet 53% From Peak, Raising Economic Concerns

Silver prices have fallen 53% from their peak in late January, dropping significantly last week and losing nearly a fifth of their value year-to-date. This decline, contrasted with gold's relative stability, is seen by some as a potential indicator of a global economic slowdown due to silver's heavy industrial use. The market is also influenced by rising U.S. Treasury yields and a strengthening dollar, impacting both silver and gold. Major silver ETFs and mining stocks have seen substantial losses, affecting Israeli investors as well.

Volvo Unveils New Plug-In Hybrid Models With Extended Electric Range

Volvo has introduced new generations of its XC60 and XC90 plug-in hybrid SUVs, boasting electric ranges of up to 125 kilometers, more than double that of previous models. These vehicles feature larger batteries and improved charging capabilities, allowing many daily commutes to be completed on electricity alone. Production is set to begin in late 2026, with deliveries in early 2027, as Volvo adjusts its electrification strategy to meet diverse market preferences. The enhanced plug-in hybrids are relevant to Israel, which is reviewing tax incentives for such vehicles based on actual electric usage.
