**Breaking News: Silver Retreats from Rally as Middle East Tensions Return**
Silver prices slipped to approximately $67.00 per troy ounce during Friday’s Asian trading session, pulling back after Thursday’s impressive 6% surge. The white metal faced immediate selling pressure as renewed military tensions in the Middle East dampened the diplomatic progress that had fueled the previous day’s rally.
The XAG/USD pair’s sharp reversal highlights the market’s sensitivity to geopolitical developments in the region, where fresh military friction has quickly eroded trader confidence. The rapid shift from Thursday’s bullish momentum demonstrates how quickly safe-haven flows can reverse when the underlying catalyst changes.
Precious metals traders are now reassessing positions as the Middle East situation remains fluid, with silver showing particular vulnerability despite its recent strength. The pullback affects both physical and derivatives markets during typically lower-liquidity Asian hours, potentially amplifying price movements.
