Silver Declines for Fourth Consecutive Session

Silver fell to around $31.60 per ounce on Wednesday, marking its fourth straight decline amid demand uncertainties and robust supply. Profit-taking also weighed on silver prices, although the metal remains up about 10% year-to-date.

Hecla Mining Company, the largest silver producer in the US, reported a 13% increase in silver output for 2024, mining 16.2 million ounces moz, the second-highest production level in its 134-year history. On the demand side, US silver coin purchases dropped 27% year-on-year in January to 3.5 moz, the lowest January demand since 2018.

Meanwhile, softening US economic data fueled expectations for further interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, offering some support to precious metals. Investors also kept an eye on trade developments after President Donald Trump ordered a probe into potential tariffs on copper imports to boost US production of the metal.
