Yesterday the price of silver continued growing after a significant rise the day earlier when the US Fed made its decision on interest rates.
The regulator, according to expectations, left the rate unchanged and noted that the possibility of the next hike before the end of the year remains while arguments in support of monetary policy tightening are strengthening. At the same time, the regulator lowered its forecasts of the number of rate increases for this year from two to one and lowered them for the next two years as well.
The Dollar, meanwhile, was supported by strong data on the US labour market. The number of Initial Jobless Claims fell from 260 thousands to 252 thousands, against a forecasted growth to 262 thousands. Continuous Jobless claims also shrank from 2.149 million to 2.113 million while economists predicted a fall to only 2.143 million.
