LIVE MARKET ALERT Silver trades at $78.06 per ounce, slipping 7.4% intraday as traders reduce long positions following recent strength in the broader metals complex. The retreat reflects increased caution among investors who had previously driven prices to multi-month highs amid robust speculative interest and shifting macroeconomic expectations.
Market participants attribute the pullback to a combination of profit-taking and higher global bond yields, which have buoyed the dollar and dampened demand for non-yielding assets such as precious metals. Technical indicators suggest mounting resistance near recent highs, while buyers remain attentive to signs of renewed physical demand or moderation in interest-rate expectations.
Key Drivers:
• Profit-taking by investors after an extended rally in precious metals.
• Rising global bond yields strengthening the dollar and reducing the appeal of silver.
