Silver price (XAG/USD) continues its upward momentum for the third consecutive session, hovering around $33.30 per troy ounce during Asian trading hours on Thursday.
The precious metal benefits from growing safe-haven demand amid escalating trade tensions and mounting concerns over a potential United States (US) recession.
Trade tensions intensified after US President Donald Trump imposed higher tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, heightening economic uncertainty and boosting Silver's appeal as a safe-haven asset.
Trump also described the economy as being in a "transition period," signaling a possible slowdown. Investors interpreted his comments as an early warning of potential economic turbulence ahead.
The non-interest-bearing commodities including Silver gained traction as the US inflation cooled more than anticipated in February, raising speculation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) might cut interest rates sooner than expected.
