LIVE MARKET ALERT Silver futures traded lower at 72.54 per ounce, marking a 1.72% decline as intraday flows showed diminished investor appetite for risk-linked metals. The pullback highlights a shift in market sentiment as traders monitor industrial activity and interest rate dynamics that often influence precious metal valuations.
Technical positioning also contributed to the move, with momentum-based strategies triggering profit-taking after recent upward moves. Traders continue to weigh physical demand trends from manufacturing sectors against a stronger currency backdrop, which has reduced the appeal of non-yielding assets like silver.
Key Drivers:
• Softening industrial demand expectations and risk-off sentiment.
• Strengthening currency and technical profit-taking pressure.
