Silver Drops at Start of Year, Investors Concerned
Friday, 2 January 2026 10:10 WIB | MARKET ANALYSIS |

Silver prices fell in trading today, January 2, 2026, after strengthening earlier in the year. This decline was triggered by a strengthening US dollar and market concerns about a global economic slowdown, which temporarily dampened investor interest in industrial metals like silver.

Furthermore, demand from the technology and energy sectors was observed to be declining, adding to price pressure. Analysts say that silver now faces a major test in early 2026, and investors will be waiting for economic signals and central bank policies to determine the direction of this metal's movement. (az)
The price of silver at the time of this analysis was $71,708.
