Silver Mini Dec '26 (QIZ26)
Silver Mini Futures Market News and Commentary

Also, hawkish comments on Thursday from Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack supported the dollar when they said current Fed policy isn’t in restrictive territory. However, the dollar gave up nearly all of its gains as stocks rallied, which curbed liquidity demand for the dollar.
US weekly initial unemployment claims unexpectedly fell -4,000 to 203,000, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of an increase to 208,000.
