Silver price today: Why silver, SLV ETF and silver stocks fell before Friday’s jobs report

Silver dropped on Thursday, with U.S.-listed silver stocks staying under pressure after hours. A stronger dollar and rising Treasury yields drowned out safe-haven flows tied to the escalating Middle East crisis. By 5 p.m. EST in New York, spot silver hovered near $82 a troy ounce, off about 1.5% for the session. The iShares Silver Trust shed $1.06 late, while Pan American Silver slid $1.91, Hecla Mining dropped 95 cents, and First Majestic Silver lost $2.39.
