LIVE MARKET ALERT Silver prices moved lower in intraday trade, with the metal quoted around $63.47 per ounce, marking a decline of 2.97%. The retreat reflects a cautious tone across precious metals, as traders recalibrate expectations in response to shifting macroeconomic signals and a firmer U.S. dollar tone.
Market participants have been trimming long positions, citing modest liquidation among speculative accounts and a tightening of short-term liquidity conditions. Technical indicators point to near-term consolidation, with resistance observed near recent highs and potential support emerging at previous volume-weighted averages.
Key Drivers:
• A stronger U.S. dollar has reduced the appeal of non-yielding assets such as silver, contributing to selling pressure during the session.
• Short-term profit-taking and repositioning ahead of potential macroeconomic data releases have led to broad-based softness across industrial and precious metals.
