News Brief
PANews noted on January 31st that precious metals experienced wild swings during January's closing week, behaving almost like meme stocks. Gold surged through several $100.00 barriers to approach $5600.00 per ounce; meanwhile, silver touched a historic peak above $121.00 per ounce before both plummeted sharply. Analysts believe the selloff followed Trump's selection of Kevin Warsh as future Fed Chairman, which calmed concerns about Federal Reserve independence. Therefore, investors will continue processing Friday's developments, including Warsh's appointment and the metals' volatile movements. Looking ahead, key events include: Monday 23:00 US January ISM Manufacturing PMI. Tuesday 1:30 PM speech by Atlanta Fed President Bostic, a 2027 FOMC voter; at 22:40 Fed Governor Bowman speaks, followed by US December job openings at 23:00. Thursday 8:30 PM brings US January Challenger job cuts, then weekly jobless claims at 21:30. Thursday 23:50 features Bostic's monetary policy Q&A. Friday 21:30 releases US January unemployment, non-farm payrolls, and 2025 baseline revisions; at 23:00 comes preliminary February one-year inflation and University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index.

PANews reported on January 31st that the precious metals market experienced extreme volatility in the last trading week of January, resembling a meme stock. Gold broke through several round-number $100 levels, approaching $5600/ounce, while silver briefly reached a record high above $121/ounce, but both subsequently saw a precipitous reversal. The trigger for this plunge was Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chairman, which alleviated market concerns about the Fed's independence. In the coming week, investors will continue to digest Friday's developments, including the impact of Warsh's nomination and the epic plunge in precious metals. Here are the key points the market will focus on in the coming week:

At 23:00 on Monday, the US January ISM Manufacturing PMI will be released.

Cardano Latest News, Pi Network Price Prediction and The Best Meme Coin To Buy In 2025

The post Cardano Latest News, Pi Network Price Prediction and The Best Meme Coin To Buy In 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pi Network is rearing its head, and Cardano is trying to recover from a downtrend. But the go to option this fall is Layer Brett, a meme coin with utility baked into it. $LBRETT’s presale is not only attractive, but is magnetic due to high rewards and the chance to make over 100x gains. Layer Brett Is Loading: Join or You’re Wrecked The crypto crowd loves to talk big numbers, but here’s one that’s impossible to ignore: Layer 2 markets are projected to process more than $10 trillion per year by 2027. That tidal wave is building right now — and Layer Brett is already carving out space to ride it. The presale price? A tiny $0.0058. That’s launchpad level, the kind of entry point that fuels 100x gains if momentum kicks in. Latecomers will scroll through charts in regret while early entrants pocket the spoils. Layer Brett is more than another Layer 2 solution. It’s crypto tech wrapped in meme energy, and that mix is lethal in the best way. Blazing-fast transactions, negligible fees, and staking rewards that could make traditional finance blush. Stakers lock in a staggering 700% APY. But every new wallet that joins cuts into that yield, so hesitation is expensive. And let’s not forget the kicker — a massive $1 million giveaway fueling even more hype around the presale. Combine that with a decentralized design, and you’ve got something that stands out in a space overcrowded with promises. This isn’t some slow-burning project hoping to survive. Layer Brett is engineered to explode. It’s raw, it’s loud, it’s built for the degens who understand that timing is everything. At $0.0058, you’re either in early — or you’re out forever.
