Silver news for September 18, 2026
Silver has seen sharp swings, including a gain of more than 7% and a 6.8% round-trip over nine days, along with a rebound to near $66.80 after a pullback around $62.27. The moves have been linked to Federal Reserve rate expectations and tightening concerns, shifts in U.S. and real yields, softer oil prices, and bond-market stress after the Fed meeting.
