Gold (XAUUSD) & Silver Price Forecast: Gold Breaks Symmetrical Triangle at $4,075 as Silver Holds $58.27 – Next Move?

Precious Metals Fundamentals Supported by Central Bank Demand and Supply Limits

Gold and silver are underpinned on a structural basis as of July 9 by a continuation of central-bank accumulation as well as continued lackluster growth in primary mining supply. This trend has persisted over recent weeks and has also provided a solid basis for the gold and silver market that has operated independently of investment demand in recent times.

Primary production growth has been lackluster for both gold and silver as of July 9 and remains so. In addition, gold and silver recycling continues to play a role in the supply side.

Silver continues to stand out in terms of a continuation of growth in industrial fabrication, including applications in solar energy and electronics as well as electric vehicles. Investment demand also plays a role.

The broader gold and silver supply and demand outlook as of July 9 continues to be based on the continuation of central bank buying as well as the ongoing lackluster production growth for gold and silver. Also important for the supply and demand outlook for silver is the continuation of growth in industrial demand. And as always, a number of other key factors also contribute to the market dynamics.
