Silver continues to see a lot of noisy and choppy trading. This is a market that continues to watch headlines and the effects of those headlines on interest rates.

Silver

The silver market has gone back and forth during trading here on Tuesday as we continue to see a lot of noisy and choppy behavior. Silver, of course, is sensitive to the interest rate markets in America, and that could be a little bit of an item for concern. We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out. We recently did rally quite nicely, but we have since in the last 5 or 6 days, just stopped dead cold at the 200-day EMA.

With rising rates, it does make non-yielding assets like silver a little less attractive, and I also am looking at the US dollar depending on the currency you’re measuring it against. It could be trying to make a little bit of a comeback. That might work against silver as well.

200-Day EMA Barrier and Macro Drivers

The next candle that’s impulsive, I think, probably tells the story at this point as we’re just waiting for something. That something is probably the bond market or the situation in the Middle East to gain more clarity, which is something that is lacking at the moment to say the least.

Longer-term, I love silver. I think silver has a bright future ahead of it as the demand for electrification will continue to drive silver higher over the longer term. Same thing with copper. But right now, there are so many other things going on; most traders aren’t worried about the AI trade or the electric trade or the supply and demand. It’s all about interest rates currently, at least that’s how the market’s behaving.
