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.

Tesla closed at $442.10 (+0.40%), drifting higher with the broader Nasdaq. SpaceX-merger overhang dominated the news flow; production headlines absent.

TSLA is trading as a SpaceX-merger event rather than a fundamental EV story right now — shareholders are pricing dilution risk versus optionality. Robotaxi narrative is on the bench until next datapoint.

Any official SpaceX-merger terms or Musk commentary. June delivery numbers loom. Resistance $450; support $432. Break of $430 would be the first technical warning.
