LIVE MARKET ALERT Silver prices are trading sharply lower at $72.05 per ounce, marking a 5.06% intraday decline as investors reassess their exposure to precious metals amid renewed strength in the U.S. dollar. The pullback reflects a round of profit-taking and cautious positioning following recent speculative inflows that had lifted prices to multi-session highs.
Market participants note softer industrial demand expectations and a moderate rise in Treasury yields as key contributors to the decline. While physical demand remains supported by longer-term supply constraints, futures trading is showing signs of volatility as liquidity concentrates around key technical levels, indicating that short-term sentiment remains fragile.
Key Drivers:
• Strengthening U.S. dollar weighing on precious metal valuations
• Higher Treasury yields reducing the appeal of non-yielding assets like silver
