Daily Gold (XAU/USD)Gold, often seen as silver’s counterpart, has outperformed, breaking above $2,726.30, pushing prices closer to record highs at $2,790.17. A weaker US dollar – currently near a two-week low – has further supported safe havens such as gold and silver. However, gold has benefited more directly from its appeal to inflation hedging, which silver has struggled to fully benefit from.
Market forecast: cautious optimism for silver
In the near term, the outlook for silver will depend on external factors such as US tariff announcements, the industrial recovery in China and policy direction in the renewable energy sector.
While the technical setup remains bullish, silver needs stronger demand signals, especially from China and the solar industry, to reignite momentum. Traders should pay attention to developments in US-China trade relations and further indications of Federal Reserve policy, as these factors could stimulate renewed interest in the metal.
