Silver prices have seen a decline, currently trading at $76.11, down 1.55% for the day. This drop follows a significant rise where silver gained 6.61% in the week ending April 17, closing at $80.89. The recent downturn is attributed to inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions, particularly related to the ongoing conflict with Iran. Analysts warn that if silver prices fall below $74.50, they could test the next key support level at $72.
