Silver is rebounding after yesterday’s retreat, remianing above $23
The silver futures contract lost 1.87% on Monday, February 19, as it retraced its Friday’s advance despite low trading activity over the holiday weekend. On Friday, silver had rallied by 2.28% following a 2.52% increase on Thursday, reaching a peak of $23.56. Earlier in the week, silver sold off after the higher-than-expected consumer inflation numbers. On Wednesday, It dipped slightly below the January 22 local low of around $22.
Today silver is trading slightly higher, and above the $23 mark, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The silver price is 0.3% higher, as it is trading along the $23.10 level. What about the other precious metals? Gold is 0.5% higher, platinum is 0.9% higher and palladium is 1.5% higher. So the main precious metals’ prices are higher this morning.
Friday’s important Producer Price Index release has been higher than expected at +0.3% m/m. Today, we will get the CB Leading Index at 10:00 a.m. The markets will be waiting for tomorrow’s FOMC Meeting Minutes announcement.
