**[Stronger Dollar Pressures Silver Prices, Silver Volatility Significantly Higher Than Gold]** According to a report by Jinse Finance, silver prices retreated after rising in the previous trading session, as investors turned to safe-haven assets amid escalating geopolitical risks and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Silver futures fell 4.3% to $85 per troy ounce, while the U.S. Dollar Index rose 0.6% to 99.02, making dollar-denominated commodities more expensive for overseas buyers. Analysts at ING Bank stated: "Compared to gold, silver continues to exhibit significantly higher volatility, with position adjustments and scarce liquidity amplifying intraday fluctuations."
