Commentary & insights

US Fed likely to hike, EU economic growth likely to slow, and inflation to remain “sticky”

In the above case, could demand for gold and silver increase?

Chart as of June 9 2023 8:02 UTC

Technical commentary for Silver: Current Silver price is $24.40 and it seems to be trading stronger over the previous 48 hours. Key price support spotted near $22.7 (30 day low), moving average analysis is bullish since price is above its 9 and 18 day moving averages, directional movement index (DMI) suggests that there is more upward price pressure than downside pressure. Upside prospects for a price extension towards the $28.6s can not be ruled out over the short to medium term (14-49 days). Downside risk seen below the $22.7 support (see daily chart).
