Silver Price Today Slips Toward $66 as Rate Fears Outweigh Safe-Haven Demand
Spot silver fell 3.4% to $66.80 an ounce Tuesday, erasing Monday’s rebound as traders bet energy shocks will keep interest rates high. The metal is down nearly 18% from a month earlier, with selling spreading across gold, platinum, and palladium. Oil neared $100 a barrel and Treasury yields rose after relief from delayed U.S. strikes on Iran faded. Silver broke below its 100-day moving average last week for the first time since April 2025.
