NEW YORK (Scrap Register): Silvers prices have more room to run higher, according to analysts from CIBC Capital Markets, but they are not ready to change their forecast just yet.

According to CIBC, they are disappointed that the gold:silver ratio has not narrowed further. The ratio tends to expand when gold is going down and contracts when gold is on a rising trajectory.

"Though the gold/silver ratio has come down a little from a high of 75x to the current 72x, silver remains trading as if gold will likely contract again," analysts added.

"Given the view that the rally is not quite done yet and backed by a gold trading model that is not yet delivering a sell signal, we prefer to stick with the current trend for a while longer even though we are not increasing our silver price forecast of $17/oz. at this time," CIBC noted.

Fed to Keep Large Banks' Capital Levels Unchanged, Postpones Stress Test Reforms Until 2027

The US Fed has announced that it will maintain the capital levels of large banks unchanged during the upcoming stress test cycle (corresponding to the 2026 cycle). At the same time, the US Fed is planning multidimensional reforms to this annual test, aiming to enhance its transparency. The US Fed's Vice Chair for Supervision, Bowman, revealed that adjustments to the stress capital buffer requirements for large banks will be postponed until 2027. This move is intended to provide the US Fed with sufficient time to evaluate potential flaws that may be exposed in its testing models when assessing banks' financial conditions under simulated economic downturn scenarios.
