Silver Shines Amidst Global Turmoil
Silver prices moved steadily in today's trading, Wednesday (December 18, 2025), holding near their all-time high. This precious metal remains attractive to investors amid increasing global uncertainty, particularly regarding geopolitics and the direction of US interest rate policy.
The main support comes from escalating international tensions, including the situation in Venezuela and US pressure on energy-producing countries. This situation has prompted investors to seek safe assets, and silver has once again been seen as a hedge, in line with gold's movement, which has also remained near its record high.
From an economic perspective, market participants are still awaiting crucial US inflation data. This inflation figure will influence the Federal Reserve's future actions. If the opportunity for an interest rate cut opens up, silver could potentially receive an additional boost, as a low-interest environment typically supports precious metals.
Meanwhile, the US dollar's slight strengthening trend is limiting silver price gains. However, a combination of geopolitical factors, monetary policy, and industrial demand keeps silver's prospects strong in the short term. Investors are choosing to remain cautious while awaiting further market direction. (az)
