Silver plunges as Iran war boosts dollar and delays Fed cuts — SLV back in focus

Gold took a sharp dive Tuesday, losing 5.6% to $5,029.59 an ounce, while silver dropped even harder—down 11.2% to $79.42.

Platinum and palladium didn’t escape the pressure either, both finishing lower. “The move lower in gold appears to be driven by a flight to liquidity,” said Bob Haberkorn, senior market strategist at RJO Futures.

  • Dollar Slips for the Week as Unlikely Fed Rate Hike Bets Fade
    July 17, 2026, 2:21 AM EDT. The U.S. dollar was little changed on Friday but is heading toward a weekly loss after a muted inflation reading prompted traders to scale back bets on near-term Federal Reserve rate hikes. Heightened Middle East tensions have driven safe-haven flows and sent oil prices to their highest in nearly a month, yet the dollar index remains set for a 0.24% weekly decline. Meanwhile, the euro and sterling are on course for weekly advances, reflecting reduced worries surrounding Britain's fiscal prospects. The Japanese yen is trading close to a four-decade low as officials hint at possible intervention. Recent data highlighting strong U.S. retail sales and a stable job market have supported expectations that the Fed will keep rates unchanged at its next meeting. Traders now see just an 11% chance for a July hike, with only slight increases anticipated before year-end.
