Rates can disrupt industrial demand, especially if economic growth slows down, making silver more vulnerable than gold in a trade dispute scenario. Traders are wary that, although gold could win through safe harbor flows, silver headwind can be confronted if wider economic activities are getting stuck.

The recent price promotion of Gold also influences silver. Gold steadily on Wednesday after a sharp decrease of 2% on Tuesday, with a record high of $ 2,956.31 on Monday. While taking a profitable Gold meeting has cooled, the metal remains in a wide bullish trend.
Every renewed power in gold can support silver, especially if investors search for value in silver as a cheaper alternative. However, if gold has difficulty breaking higher, silver can remain under pressure, especially if the industrial question mitigates in response to economic data or escalating rates.
