LIVE MARKET ALERT Silver prices drift lower in intraday dealings, trading near $79.77 per ounce after falling 2.62%. The metal’s slide reflects a moderation in speculative interest as investors reassess positioning across precious metals. Reduced demand for safe-haven assets and a firmer U.S. dollar contribute to the subdued tone in silver.
Market participants note that profit-taking and shifting sentiment across industrial metals have weighed on the metal’s performance. Traders are closely monitoring key technical zones for potential support, while broader risk appetite across commodity markets remains a guiding factor for short-term direction.
Key Drivers:
• Firm U.S. dollar reduces appetite for non-yielding metals.
• Profit-taking and positioning adjustments dampen near-term momentum.
