Silver Price Forecast: XAG/USD advances strongly towards $24.35

  • Silver rose strongly, more than 1.60%, as liquidity conditions improved.
  • The strong dollar was no excuse for XAG/USD posting solid gains, driven by falling US bond yields.
  • The S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for the US was unchanged, despite the ongoing economic slowdown.
  • Silver Price Analysis: Maintain upside bias above $24.29.

the price of silver rallies strongly regardless of US dollar strength, although falling US Treasury yields supported the white metal. Wall Street is preparing for a higher open, despite the fact that China’s PMIs showed that factory activity eased, and its reopening improved the sentiment of traders. At the time of writing, XAG/USD is trading at $24.35 per troy ounce.

Sentiment is upbeat as shown by US stock futures pointing to a higher open. Release over the weekend from China’s PMI showed manufacturing activity slowed amid the Covid-19 lockdowns imposed in December. However, the relaxation of China’s zero-tolerance policy was applauded by investors in early 2023.

Meanwhile, the Dollar Index (DXY), a gauge of the dollar’s value against a basket of currencies, posts solid gains of 0.81% to 104.326, without weighing on precious metal prices. US Treasury Yields started the year on the wrong foot, as the 10-year Treasury yield is falling eight and a half points to 3.746%, as traders began to return to value a dovish Federal Reserve (Fed) in 2023.

Another factor weighing on precious metal prices is falling US Real Yields, as shown by the US 10-year TIPS yield falling 12bp to 1,471%, compared to last week’s close of 1,473%.

XAG/USD continued its bullish trend after hitting a daily low of $23.89 after a flat Monday session. A daily close above the December monthly high of $24.29 could pave the way for a new trading range within the $24.29-$26.21 range.

At the time of the report’s publication, the global US manufacturing PMI for the month of December stood at 46.2 points. Report that factory activity was weaker through 2022, triggered by a contraction in production, new orders, and muted demand conditions.
