Silver breaks above $67 as yields ease
Silver extended its rally on Friday, September 18, 2026, climbing 2.15% to $67.515 an ounce as softer oil prices and a pullback in U.S. Treasury yields supported demand for precious metals.
The move followed a 1.81% gain on Thursday, with prices trading between $65.850 and $67.680 during the session.
Oil retreat cools inflation fears
Crude prices fell for a third straight session as Saudi Arabia worked to restore flows through its East-West oil pipeline. Investors also kept an eye on next week's meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Gulf leaders, which could influence regional energy and geopolitical risk.
The decline in oil helped ease worries that inflation could accelerate again, allowing U.S. bond yields to retreat from multi-year highs reached earlier in the week.
- 10-year U.S. Treasury yield: around 4.93%, after briefly topping 5%.
- Silver intraday range: $65.850-$67.680 per ounce.
- Recent momentum: up 2.15% on Friday after a 1.81% rise on Thursday.
Fed uncertainty remains a counterweight
Investors are still weighing the Federal Reserve's policy path after its first rate increase in three years. The central bank signaled that further tightening may be needed if inflation pressures persist.
Traders are pricing roughly a 53% probability of another Fed move in October. That hawkish backdrop could limit silver's upside, but lower yields and easing oil-driven inflation pressures remain supportive in the near term.
