Silver fundamental analysis

Silver has exited a sideways range and is now showing an upward movement on the daily chart; the long-term trend in the asset suggests further growth. Prices are currently supported by an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, strengthening Gold and Silver as safe-haven assets.

During the US trading session, market participants will focus on US inflation data for November, with the PPI scheduled for release. It is expected to rise by 0.2% month-on-month and 2.6% year-on-year. Weaker-than-forecast data will exert pressure on the USD and help strengthen Silver. Conversely, stronger figures may bolster the US dollar and push the XAGUSD pair lower.
