Silver fell below $48 per ounce on Tuesday, sliding for the third straight session, as investors weighed the outlook for Federal Reserve policy while assessing the impact of easing US-China trade tensions. Last week, the Fed delivered a widely expected 25 bps rate cut, though Chair Powell stressed that another move in December is not guaranteed.
Markets now turn to key US data releases, including ADP jobs and ISM PMI reports, for further guidance. Meanwhile, improving trade relations reduced safe-haven demand for precious metals.
Over the weekend, the White House announced that China would suspend additional export controls on rare earths and end investigations into US semiconductor firms, in exchange for the US pausing certain tariffs and scrapping a planned 100% levy on Chinese exports. Last month, silver briefly hit record highs amid a short squeeze and liquidity crunch in London before retreating on profit-taking.
