Macquarie says profit‑taking last month weighed on silver and, with Fed rate‑hike expectations rising, macro factors have resumed primary control of price moves. It expects silver to trade range‑bound through the remainder of the year, around $70/oz in Q4, then gradually fall to $65/oz by end‑2027.
