Silver Price Forecast: Silver Eyes Next Rally as Copper Lags
By:
Key Points:
- Silver has the stronger relative setup as the silver-to-copper ratio holds above long-term support.
- Copper may regain leadership if the copper-to-silver ratio breaks higher and copper price clears its major resistance area.
- Silver is approaching a long-term buy zone after its pullback, which may become important if monetary demand remains strong
Copper (XCU) and silver (XAGUSD) are both sending strong signals for the metals market, but they are pointing in different directions. Copper is attempting to bounce back as traders look to industrial demand, electrification, AI infrastructure and growth in China. Silver is correcting from the recent highs, but its ratio to copper suggests high monetary demand. If silver outperforms copper, the next breakout could be on the precious metals side as inflation, Fed policy and safe-haven demand remain significant factors.
