Spot silver has breached the $80 per ounce threshold, recording a sharp 9.32% decline during today's session. Meanwhile, New York silver futures fell to the $79 per ounce level, experiencing a 6.49% drop intraday. The broader downward movement in the precious metal market reflects significant selling pressure, with the break below the psychologically important $80 barrier signaling weakening demand and potential technical breakdown in silver pricing.
