Silver price is trading steadily above the crucial level of $23.00 after surging above it on Wednesday. A decline in the US dollar has boosted the precious metal. The US CPI numbers released in the previous session showed that consumer prices in 2021 recorded the highest annual gain since 1982.
The readings were in line with analysts’ expectations; failing to offer additional drive regarding the Fed’s efforts to tighten its monetary policy. In the ensuing sessions, the greenback will remain a key driver of the precious metal’s price movements.
