Spot silver hit $75 per ounce due to strong demand, geopolitical tensions, and expected U.S. rate cuts, marking a historic high.
Dec 26 (Reuters) - Spot silver climbed to $75 an ounce on Friday, supported by robust industrial and investment demand, tightening inventories, geopolitical tensions and expectations of further U.S. interest rate cuts.
Silver prices rose 3.5% to $74.46 per ounce by 0229 GMT, after touching an all-time high of $75.14 earlier in the session.

Spot silver refers to the current market price at which silver can be bought or sold for immediate delivery. It is a key indicator of silver's value in the commodities market.
Interest rate cuts are reductions in the rate at which banks lend money to borrowers. Lowering interest rates can stimulate economic activity by making borrowing cheaper.
Industrial demand refers to the need for raw materials and resources by industries for manufacturing and production processes. It significantly influences commodity prices.
Tightening inventories occur when the supply of a commodity decreases relative to demand, often leading to price increases as buyers compete for limited resources.
