LIVE MARKET ALERT Silver futures retreated to 72.16 per ounce, marking a decline of 3.84% during the session as investors rotated toward risk-sensitive assets. The pullback follows a period of heightened volatility driven by shifting expectations around global economic growth and monetary policy positioning.
Market participants noted that reduced safe-haven demand weighed on the metal, while strength in the U.S. dollar and firmer Treasury yields added further downside pressure. Trading volumes remained steady, suggesting that institutional players are maintaining a cautious stance until clearer direction emerges from macroeconomic indicators.
Key Drivers:
• Firmness in the U.S. dollar index, reducing the appeal of dollar-denominated metals.
• Easing demand for defensive assets amid an uptick in global risk sentiment.
