AbbVie Inc. is a pharmaceutical company with significant exposure to immunology through Humira, Skyrizi, and Rinvoq, and to oncology through Imbruvica and Venclexta. The company was spun off from Abbott in early 2013. Its 2020 acquisition of Allergan expanded its portfolio with additional products in aesthetics, including Botox.

Silver priced in U.S. dollars represents the market value of one troy ounce of silver. Silver is both a precious metal and an industrial commodity, used in jewelry, investment products, electronics, solar panels, and other manufacturing applications. Its price is influenced by precious-metals demand, industrial activity, mine supply, investor flows, real interest rates, and the U.S. dollar. Because it has significant industrial uses, silver can be more cyclical and volatile than gold.
