Original: Silver price today, Thursday, October 8, 2026: Silver prices slip to August levels after Waller's rising-rates comments
Silver prices fell back to levels last seen in August on Thursday, October 8, 2026, after comments from Fed official Christopher Waller signalling interest rates could rise. Traders moved away from precious metals on the prospect of tighter monetary policy, which raises the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like silver.
Why now: Fresh comments from a Federal Reserve official on possible rate rises moved metal prices and investor sentiment.
