On July 31, 2026, silver prices in Vietnam experienced a decline, contrasting with a slight increase in global markets. As of 10:15 AM local time, the price for silver bars (999 purity) was listed at 2,156 - 2,211 million VND per tael, down 2,000 VND from the previous day. Similarly, the price for silver ingots (1 kg) was recorded at 56,710 - 58,460 million VND, reflecting a decrease of 44,000 VND for buying and 54,000 VND for selling compared to the morning of July 30.

In the global market, silver was priced at 58.34 USD per ounce, marking an increase of 0.05 USD from the previous day. Analysts attribute the fluctuations in silver prices to the ongoing impacts of interest rates and the US dollar's strength. Christopher Lewis, a precious metals analyst, noted that silver prices have remained relatively stable around the 60 USD per ounce mark, indicating a cautious investor sentiment following the recent Federal Reserve meeting.

Lewis observed that the silver market has been in a consolidation phase since mid-June, suggesting that short-term traders might find opportunities within the narrow price range. However, long-term investors appear to be waiting for a clearer trend before making significant moves.

Despite the current market conditions, Lewis maintains a positive long-term outlook for silver. He predicts that demand for silver could outstrip supply in the coming years, providing a supportive foundation for prices. Nevertheless, he cautioned that the market is still in an accumulation phase, lacking sufficient momentum for a breakout.

"Silver prices may seem subdued now, but once a new trend is established, volatility can increase rapidly," Lewis stated. Investors are advised to consider potential risks before making decisions, as the information provided reflects market trends rather than investment recommendations.
