The silver market has been booming recently. As inflation expectations gradually decline, this type of safe-haven asset has become fully active, with spot silver even reaching a historic high for a time. The driving force behind this is clear— the imagination space for interest rate policies is expanding. The market has long dismissed the possibility of a rate cut in January, but there has been a noticeable shift in attitude towards the schedule of subsequent rate cuts. According to the latest data, the probability of a rate cut in April has risen to about 42%, and the rate cut in March has also received significant attention. This reflects investors' growing expectations of a policy shift by the Federal Reserve, with precious metals, as traditional hedging tools, naturally serving as a barometer of market sentiment.

Silver's recent rally really wasn't for nothing; expectations of rate cuts heated up and everything followed. --- A 42% chance of rate cuts in April? Why is this number getting higher and higher? The Federal Reserve must be in a hurry. --- Safe-haven assets are now the market's thermometer. When silver rises, the whole market becomes restless. --- All-time high? But I still haven't jumped in; I feel like there's a pullback coming. --- Basically, it's just inflation cooling down, and precious metals are finally getting a chance to breathe. --- This move feels like the market is just self-entertaining. Waiting for rate cuts to actually materialize is another story. --- Silver is booming too fast. Be careful of a backlash later, and everyone should manage risk properly. --- Is the Federal Reserve's policy shift real or fake? Judging by silver's performance, I believe only half.

Silver has risen again, feeling a bit tempted --- Expectations of rate cuts are heating up, precious metals continue to surge --- Wait, is this really a rate cut or just another bluff? --- Inflation easing leads directly to betting on silver, straightforward and I like it --- When will the Federal Reserve really take action? They keep dangling the carrot every day --- 42% probability sounds high, but it feels like it might fluctuate again --- The new high in spot silver is real, but dare to bottom fish? That’s the question --- Precious metals as a barometer of good and bad times, or maybe a bit exaggerated --- The timetable for rate cuts has changed, market sentiment has become greedier --- The potential for interest rate cuts is large, but can it really be implemented?

ngl the fed pivot narrative is getting tired. so we're all just pricing in rate cuts now? classic market rotation into defensive assets when inflation softens... seen this movie before tbh

Silver is taking off again, this time truly supported by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Rate cuts are coming, and precious metals are definitely a safe haven choice. A 42% probability isn't high; I thought it was a sure thing. This round of market movement feels like speculation on rate cut expectations. Once it actually happens, it might cool off. With inflation easing and expectations of rate cuts, has the era of silver's prosperity arrived? Having hit all-time highs, what reason is there not to jump on board? It feels like everyone is speculating on expectations. The real show begins when those expectations are realized. The Federal Reserve's move has forcibly brought silver off the sidelines. The probability of rate cuts changes weekly; without some resolve, you simply can't hold on. Tired of hearing that precious metals are a barometer of market sentiment; at the core, it's still about the dollar weakening.
