Silver trades sideways ahead of the important monthly jobs data.
The silver futures contract lost 0.54% on Thursday, July 4, following its Wednesday’s rally of 3.99%, as it fluctuated after breaking above the $30 level. On Wednesday, it followed an advance in gold prices amid stock market’s strength and USD weakness.
Recently, silver was gradually declining from the May 20 new medium-term high of $32.75, and last week, it approached its June 13 local low of $28.73, before rebounding back above $30.
Today, silver is extending a consolidation near the $31 level, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The silver price is 0.6% higher, as it is trading along the $30.90 level. What about the other precious metals? Gold is 0.3% higher, platinum is 1.0% lower and palladium is 1.4% higher. So, the main precious metals’ prices are higher this morning.
Today, we will get the important monthly jobs data release at 8:30 a.m.
