Silver prices today, Monday, September 14, 2026: Silver slides as rate-hike expectations grow

Silver prices dipped on Monday, September 14, 2026, as market expectations of rate hikes climbed higher. The December futures opened at $64.79 per ounce, a 0.6% decline from Friday's closing price. Silver continued its downward trend, hitting $63.35 by 7:18 a.m. Eastern Time. This slide followed reports of attacks in the Middle East, including a damaged oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia and targets in Saudi homes and a mosque.

The strain on global oil prices, coupled with the prospect of higher interest rates, has weighed on silver prices. According to the CME Group's FedWatch tool, the likelihood of a rate increase this week is now 86.5%, up from 69.4% on Friday. Investors are bracing for lower silver prices in the short term.
