Silver at CPI Crossroads: Inflation Data Could Make or Break the Rally

Silver surged to its strongest weekly gain of the year as yields fell, the dollar weakened, and oil cooled, but Tuesday’s CPI report will determine whether the rally continues or reverses. A softer inflation print and lower yields could carry XAG toward the $83.06–$83.61 area, while a hotter-than-expected CPI could lift yields and the dollar, signaling a pullback toward $78.72 and potentially toward the $72–$70 zone if selling accelerates. The piece emphasizes the rally is driven by rate dynamics and industrial demand, with price volatility likely as inflation data and Fed expectations remain in play.
