Keywords: Silver decline, rate hike expectations, sector weakness
1. On September 28, 2026, concerns over inflation driven by high oil prices and expectations of further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve led to a rise in the US dollar and US Treasury yields. Gold and silver prices came under pressure, and as a silver producer, First Majestic's profits and valuation are highly sensitive to silver prices.
2. On September 28, 2026, before the US stock market opened, the overall silver sector weakened, with First Majestic leading the decline, followed by peers such as Pan American Silver. Precious metal mining stocks were generally dragged down by the retreat in gold and silver prices.
3. On August 27, 2026, a company valuation analysis showed that the discounted cash flow value was only slightly higher than the current price, indicating the stock was overvalued. On September 21, 2026, the company's share price had nearly doubled compared to the previous year, and high valuation pressure increased the potential for a pullback.

RSM Chief Economist expects the Federal Reserve to hold rates steady in October and raise by 25 basis points in December
RSM US Chief Economist Joseph Brusuelas stated: "A 'low hiring, low layoffs' U.S. job market remains our baseline view, and we expect the pace of hiring to stay sluggish going forward. The minor increase in the unemployment rate was mainly caused by statistically insignificant noise, and at present, describing the U.S. labor market as 'full employment' remains most appropriate. The weak pace of hiring, along with fluctuations in the domestic labor force data, should support members within the Federal Reserve who advocate maintaining the federal funds rate unchanged at the upcoming October meeting. The September data suggest that the risk of a second round of inflation triggered by wage increases is very small or even non-existent. In fact, employment is simply not a concern for the Fed’s policy objectives at this time. Our baseline judgement for the direction of monetary policy remains: no rate hike in October, a 25-basis-point hike in December, followed by another 25-basis-point hike in March 2027."
