Fed Hawkishness Sends Silver To Three-Month Low

19-Jun-26   10:33 Hrs IST
Silver extended its sharp decline on Friday, plunging below $64 an ounce and touching its lowest level since March, with weekly losses approaching 6%. The metal remains under heavy pressure as the Federal Reserve signaled growing support for interest rate hikes, boosting the dollar and dampening demand for precious metals. While the US-Iran peace agreement eased concerns over energy supply disruptions and inflation, the positive sentiment was overshadowed by the Fed's hawkish stance. The weakness was widespread across the metals space, with gold also posting steep losses this month. On the domestic front, MCX July silver futures fell more than 3%, breaking below the crucial Rs 230,000 per kg mark. Market participants are now closely watching the Rs 229,000 level, as a decisive breach could accelerate the correction and invite fresh selling pressure.
