Silver price remains below $30; more data nad Powell’s speech in focus.
The silver futures contract gained 0.18% on Monday, July 2, as it fluctuated following a slight rebound from the last Tuesday’s local low of $28.86. Last Tuesday, the market broke the recent lows following the previous Friday’s sell-off of almost 4%, gold’s reversal. Recently, it was gradually declining from the May 20 new medium-term high of $32.75.
Today, silver is trading sideways, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The silver price is unchanged, as it is trading above the $29.60 level. What about the other precious metals? Gold is 0.2% lower, platinum is 0.7% higher and palladium is 0.8% higher. So, the main precious metals’ prices are mixed this morning.
Yesterday’s ISM Manufacturing PMI release has been lower than expected at 48.5. Today, we will get the JOLTS Job Openings release at 10:00 a.m. There will also be a speech from the Fed Chair Powell at 9:30 a.m.
