US August CPI, CME 24-Hour Silver Futures Debut Among Today’s Key Events

The CPI print is the day's dominant risk event, with the silver contract launch timed to extend trading hours into the same window — a reminder that metals are increasingly priced around US macro releases rather than regional sessions. For RWA and tokenized-commodity venues, CME's move strengthens the case that round-the-clock exposure is becoming table stakes. Whether the new contract draws liquidity away from established benchmarks is the open question; thin early volume would say more about market structure than about silver itself.
