Gold and silver prices plunged Friday morning, halting momentum the metals had built in recent weeks that lifted silver to its highest price in two months, with analysts blaming fears over inflation for the price slump.

The price of silver is $76.69 as of 9:45 a.m. EST on Friday, down more than 10% but slightly higher than the intraday low price of $76.63 it hit earlier in the trading session.
Silver also fell in price on Thursday, declining from a price of nearly $90 on Wednesday, the highest level the metal has reached since early March.
