Silver is trading 3.02% down now at $66.58 as inflation and interest-rate concerns pressure precious metals.
- Rising oil prices after escalating U.S.-Iran tensions strengthened expectations for tighter monetary policy, making non-yielding metals less attractive.
- Silver had already declined for two sessions amid anticipation of U.S. inflation data and renewed geopolitical risk.
- Industrial demand remained supportive, while market coverage linked the decline to those macro pressures.
