Key Points:

  • Silver remains under pressure as a hawkish Fed, rising Treasury yields, and a stronger U.S. dollar limit short-term upside.
  • Weak freight and trucking data signal caution in the real economy, which may cap silver through the industrial demand channel.
  • Silver is holding the $50 to $60 support zone, but a break above $72 is needed to confirm the next bullish move.
