Silver is above $23 again after Friday’s economic data, weaker USD.
The silver futures contract gained 1.92% on Friday, November 3 as it went back above $23 level following weaker-than-expected U.S. monthly jobs data release. Recently silver fell on strengthening U.S. dollar, interest rate uncertainty. It was as low as $22.65 before bouncing after the FOMC release. On October 4 silver price reached new medium-term low of $20.85 and it was the lowest since early March, and on Friday October 20 it traded as high as $23.9.
Today silver is trading along its Friday’s closing price as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The silver price is 0.1% higher as it is trading slightly below the $23.30 level. What about the other precious metals? Gold is 0.3% lower, platinum is 0.1% lower and palladium is 0.5% higher. So the main precious metals’ prices are mixed this morning.
Friday’s Nonfarm Payrolls release has been slightly lower than expected at +150,000. Today we won’t get any new important economic data.
