Silver price jumps near record highs as Fed decision and ETF frenzy collide
Spot silver surged about 8% in after-hours U.S. trading Tuesday, ending near $112 an ounce after volatile swings. U.S. retail investors poured $171 million into the iShares Silver Trust on Monday, nearly doubling the previous record. The rally followed safe-haven buying amid tariff threats and U.S. budget worries. Traders await the Federal Reserve’s policy decision Wednesday.
