Daily Silver News: July 23 – Silver Fluctuating After Friday’s Sell-Off

Silver price remains close to $29 as markets await more economic data.

The silver futures contract gained 0.08% on Monday, July 22, as it went sideways following its Friday’s sell-off of over 3%. On Friday, silver accelerated its recent declines after a sharp move lower in gold. Recently, silver was rebounding from the $32 level despite a record-breaking rally in gold prices.

In May and June, silver was gradually declining from the May 20 new medium-term high of $32.75, and in late June, it was briefly below $29, before rebounding closer to $32 again.

Today, silver is trading sideways after reaching a new local low below the $29 level, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
