Silver Continues to Pressure Upside

ByVictoria

During the trading on Friday, we saw the silver market initially dip, only to turn around and show signs of strength yet again. Because of this, I think the market is likely to continue to be bullish.

In general, this is a market that’s been in an uptrend for quite some time and if we are in fact going to continue to see inflationary issues, things like silver, commodities and stuff could get a little bit of a bid. We’ll just have to wait and see.

    “While traditionally inflation and real yields have been the main drivers of gold prices, recently central bank buying has emerged as the primary catalyst behind the current gold price increase,” according to a recent research note by Bank of America’s Global Commodity Research’s Franciso Blanch and Irina Shaorshadze.

    George Milling-Stanley, chief gold strategist at State Street Global Advisors, also believes central-bank buying will keep gold humming this year, but he also sees two additional drivers.

    “With the price now reaching our long-held target of $3,000/oz, the main question is whether the rally will continue. We think so, as long as policy risks and an intensifying trade conflict continue to spur safe-haven demand,” UBS said.

    The precious metal remains supported as concerns about an intensifying global trade war continue to place downward pressure on the dollar and Treasurys amid diminishing faith in the U.S. as a reliable trading partner. 

    Gold’s price, which soared 6% last week and trades 23% higher since the start of the year, seesawed Sunday evening as investors digested news that recently announced U.S. tariff exemptions on smartphones, computers, and semiconductors could be temporary, with the president later pledging a national security trade investigation into the chip sector.

    Gold prices dropped more than 1% on Friday as markets digested the latest tariff developments, while a softer inflation report in the US kept hopes for a rate cut alive.

    Spot gold fell back below $3,300 an ounce during the morning session, trading at $3,281.24 for an intraday gain of 1.1% by 10:45 a.m. ET. US gold futures also fell 1.1% to $3,307.40 an ounce in New York.

    “Gold, at this point in time, is pulling back off these recent highs and is in a consolidation period,” said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures

    “Gold is under slight pressure as we’re seeing a little lesser need for safe haven, but it does look like there is going to be significant pushback from Trump and that will eventually help prices.”
