Wednesday's silver price grew slightly amid USD weakening, which remains under pressure due to cautious comments from Fed officials. On Monday, Fed’s Lael Brainard stated that the case for increasing interest rates is less convincing, leading to a significant drop in the probability of an interest-rate hike in September.
In addition, the Dollar was pressured by poor data from the US. The Import Price Index for August fell by 0.2%, against a forecasted decline of 0.1%, while the Export Price Index fell by 0.8% compared to expectations of a 0.1% growth.
