# Silver slides to $63 as Fed rate hike fears grow

Steep silver drop: Silver has fallen more than 40% from January highs, pressured by inflation-driven rate hike expectations rather than easing geopolitical risk. Fed policy shift: Hot inflation data has reversed earlier 2026 rate cut bets, with markets now pricing in a strong chance of a hike before year-end. Metals under pressure: Gold and base metals have also slid sharply, as stronger dollar and higher yields weigh on demand and investor positioning.
