Causes and predictions

According to FX Empire, silver increased slightly in the last trading session. However, the market is still affected by weak technical signals and fluctuations in global trade. This makes investors cautious and wait for important upcoming events.

While technical factors are leaning towards a downward trend, analyst James Hyerczyk at FX Empire said that broader fundamentals may support.

"The US-China trade talks in Switzerland are being closely monitored. Any tariff easing for Chinese imports could boost industrial demand for silver.

Of which, more than 50% of consumption is associated with industrial applications, especially electronics and solar energy. This could help slow down the decline of silver and stabilize prices again," said James Hyerczyk.

However, James Hyerczyk believes that the gold-siber ratio remains high, meaning that silver is still less attractive than gold.

While gold has maintained its short-term support thanks to a weak US dollar and geopolitical concerns, silver has failed to attract safe-haven cash flow like gold, he said.
