The Thursday session sees a bit of consolidation in the silver market, as we are not trying to digest further gains from the Wednesday session. At this point, the market looks as if it want to go to the $35 level eventually.
Silver is a metal that I would be a buyer on dips because it is a precious metal. It’s a way to protect wealth, but it’s also an industrial one.

“If we assume that Chile is within the lowest tariff range, the application of a potential 10% tariff is lower than the tariffs we have seen for other copper-producing countries and therefore also generates a better price position,” Williams said
