Silver holds firm as Dollar slides after split Fed decision

XAG/USD steadies near $57.00 as Fed dissent, surging long-end yields and Dollar weakness drive choppy tradingThe Fed's monetary policy statement was barely changed. The central bank noted that the economy is growing steadily despite uncertainty stemming from the US-Iran war. The central bank revealed that productivity growth and capital investment are robust, further strengthening the jobs market. Worth mentioning that the decision was split, with three dissenters led by the Cleveland Fed's Beth Hammack, Minneapolis Fed's Neel Kashkari, and Dallas Fed's Lorie Logan, who favoured a 25-basis-point rate hike. Although the Fed Chair, Warsh, revealed that he’s committed to tackling inflation, he dodges the question of how the Fed will achieve its 2% goal.
