- Silver price jumps to near $28 on multiple tailwinds.
- Market speculation for Fed big rate cuts in September has waned significantly.
- Investors await the US CPI for July for fresh guidance on interest rates.
Silver price (XAG/USD) surges to near $28.00 in Monday’s North American session. The white metal gains amid geopolitical risks and firm speculation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will start reducing interest rates from the September meeting.
Conflicts between Iran and Israel in the Middle East are expected to widen further as the former is expected to retaliate for the assassination of the Hamas leader by an Israeli air strike in Tehran. The appeal of Silver as a safe haven improves amid geopolitical uncertainty.
Meanwhile, market speculation for the Fed rate cuts in September remain robust but uncertainty over the size has deepened significantly. According to the CME FedWatch tool, 30-day Federal Funds Futures pricing data shows that traders see a 46.5% chance that interest rates will be reduced by 50 basis points (bps) in September. The likelihood of a 50 bp rate reduction has weakened significantly from 85%, recorded a week ago.
