Silver price (XAG/USD) falls to near $36.50 during Asian trading hours on Wednesday. The white metal faces a slight selling pressure even as the White House has signaled that it will release more letters, specifying additional import rates, to those nations that have not closed a trade deal during the 90-day tariff pause.
United States (US) Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday that more than 15 countries will receive letters in a couple of days. "I expect 15-20 trade letters to go out over the next 2 days," Lutnick said.
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump also stated through a post on Truth.Social he will announce new tariff rates for minimum of seven countries on Wednesday's morning and more in afternoon. "We will be releasing a minimum of 7 Countries having to do with trade, tomorrow morning, with an additional number of Countries being released in the afternoon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump wrote.
The announcement of new tariff rates by the US for its trading partners will intensify trade war globally. Over the weekend, Trump also announced new tariff rates for 14 nations, in which notable mentions were Japan and South Korea.
Theoretically, escalating global trade tensions improve demand for safe-haven assets, such as Silver. However, it struggles to attract bids as the US Dollar (USD) trades firmly. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback's value against six major currencies, trades close to weekly high around 97.80 posted on Tuesday.
Technically, higher US Dollar makes the Silver price an expensive bet for investors.
Additionally, US President Trump has also threatened to impose 50% tariffs on Copper imports and 200% additional import duty on pharmaceuticals next year.
