Aletheia Capital analyst Steven Schlegel noted that Monday marked the “true beginning” of chair Kevin Warsh’s US Federal Reserve, with the first meeting on Jul 29 “a political meet-and-greet”. “Starting last week, the Fed was no longer permitted to have public discussion about Fed policy and thus the market has been a bit left in the dark,” he added, expecting this week’s tone to remain hawkish. “We will be discussing the bearish silver story, and how the gold/silver ratio will play out.” **This article has been written with the assistance of AI and reviewed by a reporter** ### Related Stocks - [H78.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/H78.SG.md) - [5E2.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/5E2.SG.md) - [STI.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STI.SG.md) - [EWY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EWY.US.md) - [03121.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03121.HK.md) - [YCS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/YCS.US.md) - [S51.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/S51.SG.md) - [D05.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/D05.SG.md) - [O39.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/O39.SG.md) - [U11.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/U11.SG.md) - [PCT.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PCT.SG.md) - [J85.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/J85.SG.md) - [KUO.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KUO.SG.md) - [00HSI.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00HSI.HK.md) - [UOVEY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/UOVEY.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Samsung Anchors South Korea's Record 821 Trillion Won AI Budget Push](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297692258.md) - [Hyundai Motor Group signs smart city, green mobility MOU with Oman transport ministry at Gulf Green Mobility Forum](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297977929.md) - [Bellock Shareholders Unanimously Approve Articles of Incorporation Changes](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297857554.md) - [Keyang Electric Sets Final Issue Price for Paid-in Capital Increase at KRW 2,970](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297596786.md) - [South Korea says chip investments under discussion with US amid tariff concerns](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297989134.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
