In the international market, silver prices rebounded to above $30.40/ounce, recovering from an 11-week low as geopolitical risks increased, boosting safe-haven demand for precious metals.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned of missile strikes on Ukraine, following a series of large-scale Russian attacks on Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure. In the Middle East, tensions flared as Israel and Hezbollah exchanged accusations of violating a ceasefire agreement that took effect last Wednesday (Nov. 27).
Silver coins
Additionally, silver prices received support from a weaker dollar and lower Treasury bond yields, as expectations of further interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve persist. Concerns about the tariffs proposed by US President-elect Donald Trump on China, Mexico, and Canada have also eased, as traders await further details on these plans.

In response, commercial banks have started to increase deposit interest rates to secure stable funding.
