Silver price is trading sideways ahead of today’s consumer inflation release.
The silver futures contract gained 0.35% on Monday, November 13 as it bounced from new local low of $21.92. It accelerated its downtrend before bouncing from mid-October local lows. Recently silver price followed a sell-off in gold, stronger USD, among other factors. On previous Friday silver price was above the $23 level and it was extending an almost month-long consolidation. On October 4 silver price reached new medium-term low of $20.85 and it was the lowest since early March, and on October 20 it traded as high as $23.9.
Today silver is trading sideways as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The silver price is 0.2% higher as it is trading along the $22.40 level. What about the other precious metals? Gold is unchanged, platinum is 0.2% higher and palladium is 1.1% lower. So the main precious metals’ prices are relatively flat this morning.
The markets will be waiting for today’s important Consumer Price Index release at 8:30 a.m. There will likely be an increased volatility following that data.
