Silver prices are hovering near their 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) on Monday. Traders are watching this level to determine the metal’s longer-term trend.
The silver market shows volatile behavior. Geopolitical tensions, including missile exchanges between Israelis and Iranians, contribute to this uncertainty. The lack of U.S. involvement, however, offered some relief to the markets.
Analysts suggest silver needs to rise above the $70 level to attract significant buying interest. The current price area provided support in late March. A drop below Monday’s lows could send prices toward the $60 level. This move would likely coincide with higher U.S. interest rates.
Higher interest rates typically weigh on silver prices. Rates rising to 4.65% or more would likely push silver lower. Conversely, falling rates could help silver climb above $70. Many analysts remain bullish on silver long-term, pointing to a persistent lack of supply expected to continue through 2025.
