Silver Prices Rise on Geopolitical Tensions and Fed Expectations
Silver prices rose slightly above $38.30 per troy ounce on Friday, following a slight decline in the previous session. This increase was driven by global economic uncertainty, which prompted investors to seek safe-haven assets. With geopolitical tensions and uncertainty about the Fed's interest rate policy, silver continues to be a top choice for hedging.
Meanwhile, silver prices have risen more than 25% since the start of 2025, following a similar upward trend to gold. Markets expect that more dovish monetary policies from central banks, particularly the Fed, will continue to support silver, which is more sensitive to interest rates than other precious metals. This expectation has deepened as economic reports point to the potential for interest rate cuts.
