Another Viscous Wave of Selling From $30? Gold (June) / Silver (July)
Gold, yesterday’s close: Settled at 2394.9, up 35.0
Silver, yesterday’s close: Settled at 29.729, up 1.027
Gold futures secured the highest settlement since April 19th, while Silver took out its April high settlement and traded to the highest level since February 2021. Despite the underlying strength and a terrific week, one could view the lack of overnight follow-through as disappointing, and question whether this is another magnificent failure for Silver at the $30 mark. It certainly sets the stage through the end of the week, and the precious metals complex must maintain this momentum or could face another wave of vicious profit-taking.
In order to maintain yesterday’s momentum, we must see price action in Gold hold above first key support at 2380.3 and Silver above 29.72-29.80.
Despite some of the near-term swings, we view the strength across both precious and industrial metals as sustainable over the longer-run. There is a push for increased electric power use because the green energy revolution, rising E.V. Vehicle demand, and advancements in A.I. have all strained the out-of-date electrical grid. The combination pushes demand for copper, silver, and other metallic metals higher for the first time in a decade. That comes at a time when increased regulation makes it harder to bring on additional supply.
