2026-10-29 13:09 By Joana Ferreira 1 min. read

Silver prices fell to $52.5 an ounce on Thursday, marking their lowest level since November 2025, as investors assessed fresh US economic data.

The US PCE price index rose 0.5% month over month in September, its largest increase since March, while annual inflation accelerated to 3.6%.

Core PCE inflation also climbed to 3.1% year over year.

Meanwhile, US GDP expanded at an annualized rate of 3.4% in the third quarter, exceeding expectations of 3.2%, supported by resilient consumer spending and AI-driven investment.

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday ahead of next week’s US midterm elections.

However, markets continue to price in an approximately 80% chance of a rate hike in December, according to the CME FedWatch Tool, putting further pressure on non-yielding silver.

Elsewhere, oil prices declined following reports that US Vice President JD Vance had sought to revive peace negotiations with Iran.

Silver Drops Below $50
Silver prices plunged below $50 an ounce for the first time since November 2025, as rising energy costs and persistent inflation concerns strengthened expectations that US interest rates will remain higher for longer. Major central banks, including the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, kept rates unchanged this week but warned that the fight against inflation remains unfinished, pointing to renewed price pressures from surging energy costs. Meanwhile, US data released Thursday showed inflation accelerating in September, with core price growth also picking up, reinforcing expectations of a potential Fed rate hike in December. Precious metals also faced pressure from a sharp sell-off in technology stocks, triggered by concerns over rising AI-related spending, which may have prompted forced liquidations and margin calls across markets. At the same time, oil prices advanced amid fears of an escalating conflict in the Middle East, adding to inflationary concerns.
