Silver prices declined Monday as geopolitical concerns in the Middle East continued to affect markets.
The metal gapped lower at the start of the week’s trading. News that Iran may allow nuclear inspectors into the country offered some relief, suggesting a possible de-escalation of tensions.
Technical levels show $60 as a key support level. Resistance sits at $70. Silver currently trades just below its 200-day exponential moving average.
Longer-term, some market observers point to potential demand for silver from the electrification sector. Short-term dips are currently seen as buying opportunities by some traders.
Breaking below $60 could lead to further declines, potentially targeting $50. This move would require significant selling pressure.
