Silver Rises due to ongoing US government shutdown
Monday, 6 October 2025 23:22 WIB | SILVER |SILVER

Silver climbed above $48.3 per ounce on Monday, its highest level since April 2011, as the ongoing US government shutdown and expectations of further Federal Reserve rate cuts boosted demand for safe-haven assets.

Lawmakers once again failed to secure a funding deal, halting key federal programs and delaying major data releases, including September's jobs report originally scheduled for Friday. Markets are now nearly fully pricing in a quarter-point Fed rate cut this month and another in December.

Investors also await remarks from Fed Governor Stephen Miran on Wednesday and Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday for additional policy cues. Beyond macro factors, silver drew support from tightening supply conditions, with the Silver Institute projecting a global market deficit for a fifth consecutive year in 2025.
