Gold and Silver Prices Decline Amid Strong Dollar and Fed Policy Uncertainty
Gold and silver prices have declined sharply since their January 2026 peaks, with silver falling over 50% and gold nearly 30%. The drop is attributed to a stronger US dollar, rising oil prices, and expectations of tighter US Federal Reserve monetary policy amid inflation concerns. Physical demand for silver has weakened, while supply deficits and industrial demand, especially from AI sectors, may support longer-term prices. Investors remain cautious ahead of upcoming Fed decisions and inflation data, with some analysts forecasting potential price stabilization or modest recovery later.
