Silver market reaction to Fed policy

Entities: Federal Reserve · COMEX · Neel Kashkari · World Gold Council · US dollar

Overview

In early July, silver prices slipped after a prior surge driven by expectations of Federal Reserve actions, sparking debate over the metal’s effectiveness as an inflation hedge. By late July, traders saw a possible turning point as they awaited the Fed’s rate decision, with analysts noting strong demand for precious and industrial metals and describing the market as a “summer doldrums” that could improve later in the year. Around July 28, the same analysts reiterated that demand remained robust and that a neutral or slightly dovish Fed stance could lift silver, copper and uranium. A trader, anticipating this stance, closed a short position on XAGUSD, opened a long position with a stop‑loss at 54.80 and a target of $64.5, betting on further upside if policy stayed supportive. Two days later, silver on the COMEX rose 1.6% to above $33 per ounce, the highest in more than a week, buoyed by a weaker U.S. dollar, modestly lower 10‑year Treasury yields and renewed risk appetite. The Fed left its benchmark rate unchanged at 3.50‑3.75%, but an internal split—three officials, including Beth Hammack and Neel Kashkari, voted for an immediate 25‑basis‑point hike—added a hawkish nuance that reinforced the metal’s upward momentum. The trader’s long position remains aligned with this evolving backdrop.
