Silver prices have fallen sharply since early August.

According to the Vietnam Commodity Exchange (MXV), at the end of the session, the MXV-Index extended its recovery streak to the fourth day, increasing by 0.4% to 2,177 points.

Green continues to be maintained on most items in the industrial raw materials group. Notable among them are two coffee items.

Arabica coffee prices increased by nearly 3.8% to $7,070 per ton while Robusta coffee prices recorded an increase of nearly 4.4% to $3,664 per ton.

According to MXV, concerns about a shortage of Arabica coffee supply supported the rise in coffee prices yesterday. Many producers forecast that Brazil's coffee output in the 2025-2026 crop year will decrease sharply, with Arabica output alone likely to decrease by 12% to 30%.

In the domestic coffee market, sales at export warehouses continue to remain low. It is expected that coffee will not be harvested until October or November, so warehouses are not in a hurry to import goods but are mainly waiting for clearer signals from the market.

According to MXV, the metal market also attracted investors' attention when leading the decline.

In precious metals, silver prices ended the session down nearly 2% to $37.79 an ounce, the deepest one-day drop since early August.

One factor that weighed on silver prices was the greenback’s recovery. The DXY index rose 0.35% to 98.52, making dollar-priced silver more expensive for buyers holding other currencies.

In the domestic market, silver prices on the morning of August 12 decreased by more than 1% compared to the previous session, down to VND1,188,000 - 1,222,000/tael in Hanoi and VND1,190,000 - 1,228,000/tael in Ho Chi Minh City, closely reflecting the movement of international prices.
