Gold, often seen as a companion asset, remains an important influence on silver prices. Gold’s move near critical resistance levels provided some support for silver sentiment. However, the substantial industrial demand for silver poses additional challenges, especially as global economic uncertainty clouds growth prospects.
Market Forecast: Can Silver Gain Momentum?
Silver’s ability to overcome $30.44 will determine the short-term outlook of the market. A breakout above this resistance could push prices towards $32.33, with potential for further gains if macroeconomic data aligns favorably. However, if this level is not reached, the metal could retreat to $28.75. This level could act as a bottom, or a trigger point for further losses.
The week ahead presents key data points, including U.S. manufacturing reports, inflation numbers and commentary from the Federal Reserve. Traders should prepare for increased volatility as silver’s dual role as a monetary and industrial asset keeps it at the crossroads of economic and geopolitical forces.
