Silver bias flipped 3 times to neutral on October 8, 2026
Silver has fallen to a fresh two-month low below $59, with headlines linking the move to rising U.S. yields and to a sharp selloff that shed about $400 billion from gold and silver in minutes. The losses extended as oil prices surged amid renewed U.S.-Iran escalation, while a Fed Governor's comments blaming AI chips for inflation coincided with further weakness in silver. Market discussion is now focused on whether the pullback marks a correction or capitulation, even as silver demand is reported to be quietly growing outside solar.
