Coin Circle News - According to a report released by independent analyst Markus Thielen on March 18, 2026, investors are continuously increasing their holdings of silver to hedge against stagflation risks and geopolitical uncertainty. Against the backdrop of high oil prices potentially pushing US CPI to 3.36% and the Federal Reserve possibly being forced to extend its pause in rate hikes, silver's inflation-resistant properties are becoming increasingly prominent. At the same time, AI-driven data center construction and energy infrastructure expansion continue to drive industrial demand for silver, giving it dual attributes as both a critical mineral and a safe-haven asset. Despite the strength of the US dollar putting pressure on gold prices, silver futures maintain an upward trend. Currently, silver prices have entered a converging triangle pattern, with a directional breakout approaching, and volatility likely to rise accordingly.
