Meta closed unchanged at $635.29 as Instagram/Facebook/WhatsApp subscription chatter went sideways. Anthropic $1T valuation headlines redirected AI-capex attention away from in-house Meta spend.

META is in a holding pattern — fundamentals are fine, but the marginal AI capex narrative is rotating to pure-plays (Anthropic, Micron) over hyperscalers. Subscription monetization story is too early to price.

Any concrete subscription pricing detail; Reality Labs Q2 read-through. $640 caps; support $625. PCE Friday matters less for META than for rate-sensitive peers.

Silver surged 1.90% to $76.02, outpacing gold's bounce as industrial-metals demand and the geopolitical bid stacked. Opened lower on Iran drone news, then ripped on the strike headlines.

Silver is leveraged gold plus an AI capex play — solar and data-center wiring demand sit underneath the macro trade. When gold runs and risk is on simultaneously, silver outperforms both.

$77 is the technical breakout level — clean break opens $80. PCE Friday matters less than gold for silver; watch copper and AI capex headlines instead.
