Red returned to dominate the world raw material price chart in the latest trading session. In particular, the metal group was under strong selling pressure when all 10 items weakened simultaneously. For precious metals, silver prices continued to decline for the third consecutive session, falling more than 4% to $29.41/ounce. This was also the first time silver prices fell below $30/ounce since mid-September.
The US dollar has surged after the US Federal Reserve (FED) showed a tougher stance on future interest rate cuts. In its interest rate decision announced early yesterday morning, the FED revised down its forecast for interest rate cuts next year by 50 basis points, equivalent to two 25 basis point cuts, bringing the target interest rate to 3.75 - 4%. This cut is less than half the 100 basis points announced at the September meeting. By the end of 2026, the policy interest rate will be reduced by another 50 basis points to 3.4%, higher than the previous forecast of 2.75 - 3%. Moreover, the inflation forecast for 2025 has increased to 2.5%, higher than the previous estimate of 2.1% and much higher than the FED's target of 2%.
This more hawkish stance from the Fed has boosted the USD. In addition, the strength of the USD was further reinforced after the US revised up its third-quarter GDP data on December 19. Specifically, according to official data released by the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis, the country's third-quarter GDP increased by 3.1% compared to the previous quarter, 0.3 percentage points higher than the preliminary data.
Accordingly, the USD continued to increase strongly. After reaching a two-year peak in the previous session, the Dollar Index continued to increase by 0.35% in yesterday's session, reaching 108.41 points. The stronger USD increased investment costs while the risk of interest rates slowing down caused the price of precious metals, which are sensitive to interest rates and currency fluctuations, to continue to decrease sharply.
