Silver Price Forecast: XAG/USD nosedives to near $31.00 on Trump’s victory, Fed policy in focus
- Silver price plunges below $31.00 as Trump’s victory dampens its safe-haven appeal.
- Higher US Treasury yields and the US Dollar have weighed on the Silver price.
- Investors will focus on the Fed’s commentary to get cues about the impact of Trump’s victory on the interest rate path.
Silver price (XAG/USD) faces a bloodbath on a landslide victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump, is down almost 5% and falls below $31.00 in Wednesday’s North American session. The white metal weakens as investors expect that Trump would effort for a truce between Russia and Ukraine. A ceasefire of more than two Russia-Ukraine wars will improve global market sentiment.
Bloodshed between Russia and Ukraine was one of the reasons behind Silver’s rally, from a low of $18.00 to a more than decade high of around $35.00 in the past two years. Historically, the scenario of geopolitical tensions bodes well for precious metals, such as Silver, as it improves its safe-haven appeal.
Meanwhile, a sheer strength in the US Dollar (USD) and bond yields has also weighed on the Silver. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges Greenback’s value against six major currencies, posts a fresh four-month high of 105.30. 10-year US Treasury yields soar to near 4.45%. Higher yields on interest-bearing assets increase the opportunity cost of holding an investment in non-yielding assets, such as Silver.

Going forward, investors will focus on the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rate decision, which will be announced on Thursday.

Trump vowed to lower corporate taxes and hike import tariffs by 10% universally, except China which is expected to face tariffs even higher.
