On August 29, Global X Silver Miners ETF declined 5.07% in regular trading, trading at $98.06/share, with turnover of $150 million.
On the news front, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish speech at the Jackson Hole symposium, stating that inflation data has not shown a significant trend improvement and that the Fed still has work to do if inflation cannot quickly return to the 2% target. This was compounded by the previously released U.S. July PCE price index rising 3.7% year-over-year, above market expectations of 3.6%. Market pricing for a September rate hike surged from approximately 35% to over 60%, with swap markets now betting on multiple rate hikes through mid-next year. The two-year Treasury yield jumped roughly 10 basis points to 4.33% following the speech, marking the most hawkish Jackson Hole address since 2009. The stronger dollar and rising yields weighed heavily on non-yielding precious metals, dragging silver miners sharply lower.
