Significant Silver Price Dip from Three-Year High
Solid ECN – Silver's price fell to approximately $24 per ounce, a slight decrease from the three-year peak of $24.4 per ounce in the prior session. This change occurred as investors closely monitored the possibility of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates following the latest U.S. CPI (Consumer Price Index) figures.
These figures, which showed that the annual and core consumer inflation rates were slightly higher than expected, have significantly influenced the market's anticipation of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by June. Earlier, officials from the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank hinted at potential rate decreases in 2024, which further increased the attractiveness of safe-haven assets like silver.
