LIVE MARKET ALERT Silver prices eased to hover around $79.50 per ounce, marking a decline of 3.07% during the session. The move reflected renewed selling activity as some traders locked in gains after recent strength in precious metals, leading to a broader consolidation across the metals complex.
Market participants observed lighter demand in spot trading alongside a modest uptick in the U.S. dollar index, which exerted downward pressure on non-yielding assets. This intraday pullback comes as investors reassess risk exposure amid shifting sentiment in the commodities sphere, with silver maintaining a technically supported range despite short-term weakness.
Key Drivers:
• Profit-taking and short-term positioning adjustments following prior gains.
• Strength in the U.S. dollar weighing on precious metal valuations.
