22.08.202502:48:55UTC+00Silver Holds Steady Ahead of Powell Remarks

Silver prices remained steady above $38 per ounce on Friday, following two consecutive sessions of gains, as investors eagerly anticipated Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s address at the Jackson Hole symposium for insights on the future of interest rates. There is widespread cautiousness in the market regarding Powell’s potential comments, which might counter prevailing expectations of an imminent rate cut. Currently, futures markets indicate approximately a 75% probability of a 25 basis point reduction in interest rates for September, a decrease from an earlier forecast of more than 90% the previous week. Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid emphasized the need for a "modestly restrictive" monetary policy to manage inflation risks, while Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack reiterated her stance against reducing rates at this juncture. In recent trading sessions, silver has demonstrated resilience by maintaining strength, even as gold prices weakened and the US dollar gained strength.
