Yet, silver continues to rise this morning, reaching $66.49 as of 7:45 a.m
ET. Silver prices have hit a high this morning over $66 for the first time since June, ahead of the July CPI report that many expect will show inflation conditions eased in July compared to June. Given the Fed’s two mandates of stable employment and controlling inflation, a modest CPI report this morning, especially one that shows “core” CPI remains under control, will reduce the chances of a Fed rate increase in September, fueling further growth in silver prices over the short term.
