Silver bias held neutral on October 3, 2026
Silver fell about six percent on the week to test near $60 as attention centered on the September U.S. payrolls report, which missed by 70,000, and the Dollar Index around 103. The selloff has paused after key Fed members pushed back against bets on an October rate hike. Coverage is also pointing to physical-market tightness described as a seat shortage and to recent India-related softness reflecting policy rather than demand.
