Silver Gains as US-Iran Talks Advance Amid Fed’s Hawkish Outlook

Silver prices rose over 1.6% on US-Iran diplomatic progress while the Fed signals a hawkish stance through 2027, influencing FX and metals markets.

Silver prices rebounded on Monday, climbing 1.69% to around $65.90 and ending a three-day losing streak, driven by progress in US-Iran diplomatic relations, FX Street reported. This development has provided support for safe-haven assets amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain a hawkish monetary policy stance through 2026 and 2027, keeping interest rates on hold at elevated levels, according to TD Securities as cited by FX Street. This prolonged tight policy outlook contrasts with the European Central Bank’s approach, which Rabobank’s Teeuwe Mevissen highlights as a key factor influencing EUR/USD currency movements.

For Japanese investors, these dynamics underline the importance of monitoring geopolitical shifts alongside divergent central bank policies, as they continue to impact precious metals and FX markets globally.
