Silver prices declined on Wednesday, trading near $61.19 per troy ounce, marking a 0.45% drop from Tuesday's close of $61.47, according to FX Street. The metal saw some stability during the European session, hovering around $61.45 as investors remained cautious.
This cautious trading came as market participants awaited the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index data for August, scheduled for 12:30 GMT. The PCE Price Index is a closely watched inflation gauge that could influence future monetary policy decisions.
For Japanese investors, movements in silver and other precious metals often reflect broader concerns about inflation and currency fluctuations, making the upcoming US inflation data particularly relevant to domestic portfolio strategies.
