Silver prices rose above $75. This rebound followed a US-Iran ceasefire, which helped ease oil prices. Strong industrial demand and strong equity markets also supported silver’s outlook.
Silver’s price became a macro-driven trade during the US-Iran conflict. The war had pushed oil prices sharply higher. This led markets to expect higher inflation and tighter financial conditions.
Higher oil prices also put greater pressure on growth assets. Silver felt this impact more than gold. This is because silver serves as both a precious and an industrial metal.
Industrial uses for silver include manufacturing, electronics, and solar demand. Its price often links to overall risk appetite. A constructive outlook for silver depends on its price holding above $50.
