At the close of trading on Friday, silver prices continued to weaken. World silver prices fell sharply by 3.75%, to $32.79 per ounce – the lowest level in the past two weeks.

The primary reason for this decline stems from the expectation that the Federal Reserve (FED) will continue to lower interest rates in the near future. The slower-than-expected increase in the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index further reinforced this belief. When interest rates fall, the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold and silver decreases, diminishing their attractiveness.

Aside from the impact of the Fed, US economic data shows that the world's largest economy is still growing steadily with a solid labor market and increasing consumer spending. This is causing investors to shift towards higher-yielding assets such as stocks, reducing the role of precious metals as a "safe haven".

Given the current developments, the market continues to closely monitor the Fed's actions as well as other macroeconomic information. If interest rates are lowered as expected, the price of silver and other precious metals could continue to fall. However, unexpected factors such as geopolitical tensions or other unusual fluctuations could reverse this trend.
