Two weeks ago, the headline was ‘more airstrikes’; last week’s headline was a signed peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran. Today’s headline is that silver prices are at their lowest levels in six months, despite the end of hostilities in the Middle East and ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz.
Precious metal prices are getting hammered this week on fears of future rate increases by the Fed. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge of inflation, will be released later this morning, providing more insight into how the Fed may treat interest rates as the year progresses. Higher interest rates tend to push precious metal prices lower since metals like silver and gold do not pay interest.
