LIVE MARKET ALERT Silver futures slipped during intraday trade, with prices currently hovering around $79.54 per ounce, reflecting a decline of 1.69%. The downward move comes as investors reassess risk exposure across the commodities complex in response to shifting expectations for global economic growth and monetary policy developments.
Market participants noted subdued physical demand alongside profit-taking in the metals segment following recent highs. Broader weakness across industrial commodities and a firmer U.S. dollar have also contributed to the short-term correction. Traders continue to monitor inflation trends and central bank communications for cues on near-term price direction.
Key Drivers:
• Stronger U.S. dollar and easing inflation pressures reducing appeal for precious metals
• Profit-taking and weaker industrial demand after recent rally
