Causes and predictions
According to FXStreet, silver prices increased thanks to the benefits of safe-haven demand as global trade tensions escalated.
Concerns have increased after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 200% tax on wine, ginseng and other alcoholic beverages from Europe, in response to the 50% tax that the EU imposes on US whisky.
Along with that, silver prices continue to be supported by increasingly high expectations that the Federal Reserve (FED) will cut interest rates after having weak inflation data from the US.
On Thursday, the US Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 3.2% year-on-year in February, down from January's 3.7% and forecast at 3.3%. The core PPI, which excludes food and energy, rose 3.4% year-on-year, up from 3.8% in January.
Consumer Price Index (CPI) data released on Wednesday showed inflation fell from 3.0% to 2.8% year-on-year, while core inflation fell from 3.3% to 3.1%.
However, the increase of silver may be limited if the USD continues to strengthen. A stronger US dollar makes silver more expensive for foreign buyers, which could reduce demand.
