Why is the Silver price moving today?
Silver prices are trending up on the back of a soft dollar and the US Treasury’s bond buyback decision. A weak greenback makes precious metals less expensive for holders of other currencies, thereby increasing demand.
Markets expect the US Federal Reserve to keep its rate unchanged at its September meeting, contrary to earlier expectations of a rate hike. This also added to the gains for the white metal; lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets like gold and silver.
The white metal is trading with a bullish momentum as investors turn towards safe-haven assets driven by heightened volatility in currencies and bonds.
Outlook for Silver Investors
Analysts suggest that silver prices will trade with a positive bias in the near term, driven by a soft dollar, a change in yields, and lowered expectations of a rate hike.
“MCX Silver opened with a gap up near Rs 245,000, up 0.64%, holding firm near multi-week highs after a sharp rally from the Rs 230,000 zone. Immediate resistance is at Rs 245,000-246,000, and a break above targets next resistance at Rs 250,000-251,000. Immediate support is at Rs 241,000-240,000, with next support at Rs 236,000-235,000. RSI at 64.10, rising, confirms strong bullish momentum after the metal’s sharp move this week. Bias stays constructive, with a hold above Rs 245,000 needed to extend gains toward Rs 250,000; a slip below Rs 240,000 risks a pullback toward Rs 236,000,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money
Retail investors are advised to track not just domestic rates but also international trends before making buying decisions.
