  "account": "Silver prices held steady on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, as investors weighed inflation and geopolitical risks. The September futures for silver opened at $65.90 per ounce, down 0.5% from Monday's closing price. Throughout the morning, the silver price dropped to $65.12 at 9:11 a.m. ET. Negotiations with Iran regarding a diplomatic resolution had stalled, leading to a rise in oil prices and U.S. Treasury yields. Higher oil prices pose inflation risk, but recent economic data suggests a slowdown in consumer spending, creating a balance of competing forces for silver pricing.",
