Silver price today rebounds after Tuesday selloff as dollar eases, U.S. jobs data ahead

New York, March 4, 2026, 12:54 — Regular session Silver snapped back Wednesday, recovering part of the sharp drop from the previous session as the U.S. dollar slipped and ongoing Middle East tensions kept safe-haven interest alive. Spot silver jumped 2% to $83.69 an ounce at 1628 GMT. “The dollar has seen a pullback,” said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals, who also flagged continued volatility as a risk.

ADP jobs report: U.S. private payrolls rise 63,000 in February as job-switch pay edge hits record low

U.S. private sector payrolls climbed by 63,000 in February, marking the strongest monthly jump since July, according to Wednesday’s ADP National Employment Report. January figures, though, were revised lower—down to 11,000 from an initial 22,000. Economists surveyed by Reuters had been looking for a 50,000-job gain last month. It’s a tough spot for the Federal Reserve. The next policy meeting lands March 17-18, with rates stuck at 3.50%-3.75%. Now, officials have to contend with a new oil-driven inflation threat, just as hiring momentum has faded. “It will feed into headline inflation,” Fed Governor Stephen Miran acknowledged, but he pushed back on broader concerns: “evidence that it feeds into core inflation … is quite limited.”

Corning CFO flags $24 billion 2028 sales run rate as AI data-center fiber push accelerates

Corning Incorporated’s CFO told a Morgan Stanley conference the company is now aiming for a $24 billion annual revenue run rate by 2028, ramping up its investment in data-center connectivity. Hitting that goal would nearly double Corning’s size in roughly five years. Investors are watching closely to figure out which industrial suppliers can count on sustained demand as cloud companies ramp up artificial intelligence buildouts—and for how long that spending continues. Corning’s business is right in the mix, providing optical fiber, cable, and connectivity gear used within and between data centers. https://investor.corning.com/news-and-events/events-and-presentations/event-details/2026/Morgan-Stanley-Technology-Media--Telecom-Conference-2026-eZR20l6lNS/default.aspx

Meta’s $50M-a-year News Corp AI deal shows how expensive training data is getting

Meta Platforms and News Corp have struck a multiyear content licensing deal that could see the publisher receive as much as $50 million annually, according to the Wall Street Journal. This deal stands out as tech companies hunt for new, trustworthy data to power their AI—software that studies data patterns to spit out text or respond to questions. Newsrooms, for their part, are aiming to turn that frenzy into a steady income stream instead of legal battles.

Micron’s 256GB SOCAMM2 memory sample hits customers — and MU shares rebound

Micron Technology, Inc. climbed roughly 3% out of the gate on Wednesday. The stock move comes after the memory-chip company revealed it’s begun shipping customer samples of a new 256GB low-power server memory module, targeting AI data centers. Timing is crucial right now, as data center operators run up against real constraints on power and cooling. Memory, which serves as the short-term storage feeding processors, is turning into a bottleneck for AI systems. Pricey chips sometimes just wait, idling, if data doesn’t show up in time.

Tesla’s EU carbon-credit pool thins out for 2026 as Toyota and Stellantis hold back

An EU filing reveals Stellantis, Toyota, and Subaru have exited the Tesla-led carbon-credit pool for 2026—unlike last year, when all three participated. The European Commission has eased its stricter fleet emissions rules, now allowing automakers to average out emissions across 2025-2027 instead of focusing only on the end of 2025. The absence of those names is significant—pooling often costs less than racking up EU penalties, and for automakers buying into a cleaner fleet, it shows up as a straight expense. For Tesla, fewer buyers for its regulatory credits puts more pressure on the automaker, especially with demand fluctuating and competition intensifying in Europe.

That would put the ChatGPT creator on more competitive footing with one of its main supporters. For Microsoft, the stakes are clear. GitHub underpins its developer segment. These code-hosting platforms—where software lives, changes get tracked, and teams coordinate—form the backbone of today’s software development.

Tidewater lifts 2026 revenue view to $1.48B, keeps $500M buyback as offshore market tightens

Tidewater Inc bumped up its 2026 revenue outlook on Monday and left its $500 million buyback program untouched, following a steep rise in quarterly profit. Management pointed to a constrained offshore vessel market and anticipated growth in drilling demand. CEO Quintin Kneen noted “vessel supply remains sufficiently tight,” adding the company is set up to “push day rates” as activity picks up. Tidewater’s day rates and utilization are tightly linked to offshore work schedules. The company runs offshore support vessels—workboats that haul people, gear, supplies to rigs and production platforms. Once budgets get cut, customers don’t hesitate to scale back.

Banco Bradesco put forward a distance voting ballot for an extraordinary shareholders' meeting set for March 31, aiming to get the green light on a partial spin-off of its unit Bradseg Participações, according to a U.S. filing. This vote is key. Bradesco needs approval to fold its healthcare assets into Odontoprev, reshaping the listed firm into a holding company. For Bradesco, it’s a straightforward, high-profile move—one that steers clear of altering its own share capital.

Vale speeds up Base Metals IPO prep as CEO targets mid-2026 readiness

Vale Base Metals is now pushing to be IPO-ready by mid-2026—an acceleration from its earlier 2027 outlook, according to chief executive Shaun Usmar. Calling it an “unusual window,” Usmar said the focus is on positioning the business so it’s ready for its owners. The shorter timeline has become a bigger deal as investors lean harder into copper-centric plays, and the unit wants in. Copper’s up roughly 36% year-on-year, well ahead of nickel, according to Mining.com. Usmar says the company is outpacing its own goals—costs are falling, projects are moving along more quickly.

Archer Aviation stock slides on bigger loss outlook even as FAA clears key Midnight step

Archer Aviation projected a first-quarter adjusted EBITDA loss that topped analyst estimates, sending the stock down 10.6% to $6.72 at Tuesday’s close. Cantor Fitzgerald’s Andres Sheppard called the company’s progress “on track.” Over at Deutsche Bank, Edison Yu bumped his price target on the stock to $14 from $12. The wider loss projection comes as investors keep a close eye on whether the eVTOL industry can move from flight tests to FAA-approved passenger flights—without depleting their cash reserves. In a letter to shareholders, Archer’s CEO said the FAA has now signed off on 100% of the “Means of Compliance” for the company’s Midnight aircraft. That step, which sets the technical bar for airworthiness, effectively opens the door to Type Inspection
