Silver prices today, Thursday, August 27, 2026: Silver prices steady following inflation report
On Thursday, August 27, 2026, silver prices remained stable after the release of an inflation report. The September futures for silver opened at $68.09 per ounce, marking a 0.1% increase from the closing price on Wednesday. Throughout the morning, silver prices climbed to $68.99 at 8:17 a.m. ET.
The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report, which the Federal Reserve uses as its primary inflation indicator, revealed price increases on both a monthly and yearly basis. These results were generally consistent with analysts' predictions. However, the mixed opinions within the Fed regarding potential interest rate adjustments in the coming month overshadowed the report's influence.
As a result, silver investors' focus has shifted to Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's inaugural speech at the Jackson Hole summit, scheduled for Friday. Analysts anticipate this address will provide additional insights into the Fed's potential rate decisions for September.
