Silver price keeps fluctuating following last week’s breakout; Powell in focus.
The silver futures contract lost 2.45% on Monday, July 8, as it retraced its Friday’s advance of 2.8% following a retreat in gold prices, stronger U.S. dollar. It rebounded from the $32 level. Last Wednesday, silver broke above the previous trading range and the $30 level.
Recently, silver was gradually declining from the May 20 new medium-term high of $32.75, and on previous week, it approached its June 13 local low of $28.73, before rebounding back above $30.
Today, silver is rebounding, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The silver price is 1.4% higher, as it is trading along the $31.30 level. What about the other precious metals? Gold is 0.2% higher, platinum is 0.2% lower and palladium is unchanged. So, the main precious metals’ prices are higher this morning.
Today, we will get the important Fed Chair Powell Testimony at 10:00 a.m., among others. Investors will be waiting for the Consumer Price Index release on Thursday.
