Silver ETFs Drop Over 3% as Rising US Rate Hike Expectations Pressure Precious Metals
Silver ETFs fell over 3 percent on September 11, extending losses amid a sharp decline in global silver prices driven by rising US interest-rate expectations. Gold ETFs also declined but to a lesser extent. The sell-off reflects concerns over a potential Federal Reserve rate hike, stronger US producer inflation, rising Treasury yields, and a stronger dollar. Additionally, surging oil prices have added complexity to the outlook. Experts attribute the declines to macroeconomic factors and profit-taking rather than fundamental changes in precious metals demand.
