Explained: Why silver prices have crashed 14% this week to hit a 7-month low

Silver prices have plummeted by 14% this week, reaching a seven-month low due to fading expectations of US Federal Reserve rate cuts and rising bond yields. The decline reflects a significant shift in market sentiment, influenced by decreasing geopolitical tensions which have reduced the demand for silver as a safe-haven asset. This trend is crucial for understanding commodity markets and the broader economic implications of monetary policy adjustments.
