Silver: Sharp decline amidst market shifts – MUFG
|Silver prices experienced a historic drop of nearly 30% as markets reacted to the leadership of Kevin Warsh at the Federal Reserve. The report, authored by Michael Wan, Senior Currency Analyst at MUFG, notes that this decline was part of a broader trend affecting various commodities, including Gold and Copper. The analysis suggests that while the Dollar strengthens, Asian currencies may see some support moving forward.
Historic drop in silver prices
"In particular, silver prices fell sharply by close to 30% in a move for the history books, while gold, copper and several other commodities also fell meaningfully."
"More recently however, Kevin Warsh has been more supportive of interest rate cuts, due to his views that there has been a productivity boom in the US through AI, and with that rates can be lowered without causing undue inflation."
"Whether he can coalesce his Fed colleagues both into doing so and also other key beliefs such as reducing the size of the Fed's balance sheet remains to be seen."
