Silver futures experienced a significant downturn, settling at $54.764 per troy ounce in New York. This marks the lowest closing price for the metal since November 2025, representing a 52% decrease from its record high of $115.08 reached in January.
The decline in silver prices occurred as broader market concerns grew over inflation risks, which were further fueled by fluctuations in oil prices. The interplay between energy costs and commodity markets often influences investor sentiment towards precious metals like silver, which are sometimes seen as a hedge against inflation.
