Silver price trades along $23 level as markets await more economic data.
The silver futures contract lost 0.47% on Wednesday, October 25 as it remained close to the $23 level. On Friday it broke above a short-term consolidation along the $23 price level and on Monday it came back to that level again. On October 4 silver price reached new medium-term low of $20.85 and it was the lowest since early March, and last Friday it traded as high as $23.9.
Today silver is trading sideways again as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The silver price is 0.6% lower as it is trading above the $23.00 level. What about the other precious metals? Gold is 0.1% higher platinum is 0.2% higher and palladium is 0.4% lower. So the main precious metals’ prices are mixed this morning.
Yesterday’s U.S. New Home Sales release has been higher than expected at +759,000. Today we will get the important Advance GDP release at 8:30 a.m., among others.
