Silver fell more than 2% to below $73.50 per ounce, extending a three-week decline as a stronger US dollar and shifting Federal Reserve expectations outweighed recent support from softer inflation data. The DXY index advanced as resilient nonfarm payrolls, robust private-sector hiring, and expectations of continued US growth weakened the case for rapid rate cuts, maintaining yield differentials and pressuring dollar-denominated metals.
The pullback follows January’s speculative surge—driven largely by Chinese retail inflows—that propelled silver to record highs before a sharp reversal toward $64 per ounce as leveraged positions were unwound.
