Silver price remains above $22 despite strong U.S. dollar.
The silver futures contract lost 0.79% on Thursday, October 12 as it went sideways following its recent rebound. On Monday the market broke above the $22 level. Then it was fluctuating following last week’s rebound and Friday’s rally of 3.4%. Silver retraced more of its recent declines after bouncing from $21 price level. Last week on Wednesday the market reached new medium-term low of $20.85 and it was the lowest since early March.
Today silver is trading higher as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The silver price is 1.6% higher as it is trading above $22.30 level. What about the other precious metals? Gold is 1.1% higher platinum is 0.4% lower and palladium is 0.3% lower. So the main precious metals’ prices are higher this morning.
Yesterday’s important Producer Price Index release has been higher than expected at +0.5% m/m. Today we will get the Consumer Price Index announcement at 8:30 a.m. There will likely be an increased volatility following that release.
