It moved higher as the US Dollar weakened and risk sentiment improved after reports about US policy towards Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.\n\nThe Wall Street Journal reported that US President Donald Trump told aides he is open to a diplomatic resolution with Iran. The report said officials believe reopening the Strait of Hormuz by force would extend military action beyond an initial four-to-six-week estimate.\n\nLower geopolitical tension often reduces demand for safe-haven assets such as Silver. Despite this, Silver strengthened as markets weighed the chance of lower Oil prices if a truce reduces disruption risk.\n\nIn recent weeks, higher energy prices linked to Middle East supply issues raised concerns about sustained inflation. That backdrop can keep monetary policy tight, which can reduce demand for non-yielding assets such as Silver.\n\nIf tensions ease further and Oil falls, markets may lower expectations for restrictive policy. This shift is supporting Silver, given its links to inflation and interest-rate expectations as well as its safe-haven role.\n\nGiven the recent surge in silver to the $73.70 level, we are now viewing the metal’s price action as being driven more by inflation expectations than by direct safe-haven demand. The market is betting that a diplomatic resolution in the Middle East will lower oil prices, thereby easing pressure on central banks to keep interest rates high. This potential for a more dovish monetary policy is what is currently making non-yielding silver attractive.\n\nThis perspective is strengthened by the recent 8% drop in Brent crude prices from over $110 a barrel following the de-escalation news. We see this as particularly impactful since the last CPI report for February showed core inflation remaining sticky at 3.4%, a figure that has kept the Federal Reserve cautious. A sustained fall in energy prices is now seen as the clearest path toward the Fed beginning an easing cycle.\n\nFor traders anticipating that diplomacy will prevail, buying call options on silver futures or related ETFs offers a way to capitalize on further upside. With implied volatility still elevated from the recent tensions, utilizing call spreads can be an effective strategy to reduce the entry cost. This approach allows for participation if the narrative of falling inflation and a more lenient Fed continues to build.\n\nConversely, the situation is highly dependent on diplomatic success, and any reversal could trigger a sharp sell-off in silver. We remember how a similar commodity rally in late 2025 unwound quickly when initial reports of a supply chain resolution proved to be false. Consequently, traders should consider purchasing medium-term put options as a hedge against the talks collapsing and oil prices spiking once more.\n\nOver the coming weeks, the price of crude oil will be a more important indicator for silver than traditional geopolitical risk metrics. We are watching for a decisive break below $95 per barrel in Brent as a key signal that would likely prompt further buying in silver derivatives. The inverse correlation between oil prices and silver is the dominant theme we are focused on trading at this moment.\n
