Silver price jumps on weaker dollar, eyes return to $121 record high
Global silver (XAG) prices have risen by about 3 percent on a weaker dollar and a break above a key technical resistance area, drawing attention to whether they can retake the record-high $121 level last seen in January. Analysts link the rebound to a falling U.S. dollar index and fast short-covering in futures. Technically, silver is around $79, above $78 resistance. A break above $90 could open $99 and then $121, while a drop below $78 risks $60 to $64.

Reports cited in foreign media say delivery times for high-power transformers have stretched to as long as five years. With U.S. manufacturing capacity strained, companies are looking to global suppliers including South Korea.

MacBook Neo outlook and touchscreen, OLED MacBook roadmap revealed
Apple has launched a new MacBook Neo priced at $599, with a Korea price of 990,000 won.

He said touchscreen may not come to the next Neo, while OLED touchscreen upgrades for MacBook Pro could arrive in late 2026 or early 2027 and MacBook Air could shift to OLED in 2028 or 2029.
