Silver Price Crash: 15% Weekly Jump Despite Friday's Dip; US Tariff Halt Explained

• Silver prices fell on Friday for the second consecutive day, but still recorded a 15% jump over the week.
• The decline was primarily due to the US government's decision to temporarily halt new import tariffs on critical minerals like silver and platinum.
• Despite the dip, silver has surged over 20% in the last four sessions and nearly tripled in price over the past year, driven by global uncertainty.
• Analysts view the recent fall as a 'technical breather' or 'speed breaker' in a strong rally, with investor interest in metal stocks remaining high.
• Geopolitical fears and a 'Trump factor' (attacks on Federal Reserve, aggressive foreign policy) have boosted demand for safe-haven assets like silver and gold.

Why It Matters: Silver saw a weekly 15% surge despite a Friday dip, driven by global uncertainty and safe-haven demand.
