US stocks movement | Hillview Metal Mining continues to rise more than 2% in pre-market, hitting a new high for the year. The stock price has increased 3.69 times since the beginning of 2025.

Gelonghui April 1｜Silvercorp Metals (Silvercorp Metals, SVM.US) continued to rise 2.51% before the bell, to $11.01; the stock opened higher and climbed overnight in the U.S. market, and ultimately closed up 7.08%. Benefiting from a surge in precious metals, Silvercorp Metals’ total gain for 2025 is about 180%. On January 26, the intraday high reached $14, setting a new all-time high again; its total gain for the year is about 68%, and since the beginning of 2025 it has gained about 3.69x. Recently, influenced by the macro environment, it briefly pulled back after the 120-day moving average before once again rising sharply. As of yesterday’s close, it has rebounded by more than 13%.

In terms of news, signs of easing Middle East geopolitical tensions have emerged. U.S. President Trump said the U.S. may end its military actions against Iran within two to three weeks. Iran’s President Pezeshkian said Iran has a “necessary willingness to end the war,” but needs to obtain “guarantees to prevent aggression from happening again.” The news spurred a short-term rally in gold and silver; spot gold broke through $4,710 per ounce, for the first time in nearly two weeks that it has climbed back to this level; spot silver also returned above $75 per ounce.

Goldman Sachs believes that this drop in gold has “clearly been an overcorrection.” Supported by continued gold purchases by central banks around the world and the expectation that the Fed will cut rates another two times this year, gold’s medium-term outlook remains solid, and by the end of the year the gold price could rise to $5,400 per ounce. Jeff Kilburg, CEO of KKM Financial, believes that if the U.S. can reach an agreement with Iran as soon as possible and ensure the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, silver could rebound to around $90 to $100 per ounce.
