Silver price (XAG/USD) remains stable at around $30.70 per troy ounce during the Asian session on Thursday. The price of the non-yielding metal gained support as December's lower-than-expected underlying inflation in the US sparked speculation that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) might implement two interest rate cuts this year.
Meanwhile, 2-year and 10-year US Treasury bond yields stand at 4.27% and 4.66%, respectively, at the time of writing. Both yields dropped by over 2% on Wednesday. Additionally, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges the US Dollar's (USD) performance against six major currencies, is trading near 109.00, extending its downside for the fourth successive session. A weaker USD makes the precious metal more affordable for buyers using foreign currencies, which boosts the demand for Silver.
The US CPI rose by 2.9% year-over-year in December, up from 2.7% in November, matching market expectations. The monthly CPI increased by 0.4%, following a 0.3% rise in November. US Core CPI, excluding volatile food and energy prices, increased by 3.2% annually in December, slightly below both the previous month's 3.3% and analysts' forecast of 3.3%. Core CPI edged up by 0.2% month-over-month in December 2024.(Cay) newsmaker23
