Silver prices rose as risk sentiment improved in the market after signs emerged that the US government shutdown was nearing an end. These hopes pushed the US dollar slightly lower and increased interest in precious metals, including silver, which often benefit when political uncertainty eases. However, silver's gains were restrained by the prospect of the Fed's interest rates remaining high in the near term. Investors are now awaiting clarity on the direction of US monetary policy after economic data was delayed due to the shutdown. If the dollar strengthens again or bond yields rise,...
Silver prices held below $49/oz after plunging about 7%-the deepest since 2011-and are now down approximately 10% from last week's record.

The market is also awaiting US inflation data on Friday for the final clue before the Fed's long-awaited interest rate cut next week. Looking ahead, silver's direction will be key to the US...

Silver fell to around $51.7 per ounce on Monday (October 20th), extending its decline from the previous session after hitting a record high last week.
