Gold, Silver Ease From Three-Month Highs
Gold held near a three-month high while silver pulled back on Tuesday. A softer dollar and lower real yields framed the move. Here is the LatAm read. The post Gold, Silver Ease From Three-Month Highs appeared first on The Rio Times .
Gold and silver retreated from their three-month peaks on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, as traders took profits before Wednesday's US inflation data release. Spot gold settled near $4,630 per ounce, down roughly 0.4%, while silver closed around $68.96 an ounce in New York. The pullback remained modest due to underlying market support.
The US dollar index fell 0.1% to 98.93, and the 10-year Treasury yield dropped about six hundredths of a point to around 4.64%. Mexico, the world's largest silver producer, and Peru, a major gold and silver miner, felt the impact on revenue, royalties, and investor expectations. Despite the retreat, gold remained within sight of its three-month high and US gold futures closed 0.4% higher.
Silver's decline from its 16% monthly rally was sharper but followed a strong run. The key factor to watch was Wednesday's US inflation report and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's speech at the Jackson Hole conference. A softer inflation reading could lower yields and reignite the metals' rally, while a stronger number could test the market's confidence.
Even with the pullback, both metals remained historically strong, with gold up about 14% in a month and silver more than 16%.
