Silver price this afternoon September 26: Strong increase across the board

As of 5:30 p.m. on September 26, silver prices recorded a strong increase across the world and domestic markets, benefiting from expectations that the US Federal Reserve (FED) will soon loosen monetary policy.

Domestic silver prices recorded a clear upward trend. In Hanoi, the Phu Quy Gold and Gemstone Group system led the increase, with the selling price reaching VND1,770,000/tael, an increase of VND29,000 compared to the previous morning session.

Other trading units in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City also adjusted the price up by VND18,000/tael for both buying and selling. The common price listed is around VND1,457,000/tael for selling in Ho Chi Minh City.

In the world market, the spot silver price at 5:30 p.m. (Vietnam time) also made a leap, reaching 44,816 USD/ounce, an increase of about 32,000 VND/ounce in just one day. The strong recovery from the world market is the main reason for the simultaneous increase in the domestic market.

According to expert analysis, the main driver of silver prices comes from the expectation that the FED will cut interest rates in the near future. In addition, long-term industrial demand for silver remains very solid. This metal is an essential component in the energy transition, such as solar cell production and electrification, creating a foundation for long-term price support.

Analysts say the market is currently in a consolidation mode. All eyes are on the upcoming PCE inflation data from the Fed. The results of this index will provide important clues on the path of monetary policy, thereby determining the next direction of silver prices. However, the backdrop of cooling global interest rates is creating a favorable environment for precious metals such as silver.
