LIVE MARKET ALERT Silver prices are trading at $78.91 per ounce, down 0.87% intraday, as investors exhibit a more cautious stance toward risk-sensitive assets. The softer tone in the broader commodities complex has prompted some short-term profit-taking among traders who had built long positions during the previous rally. Moderate U.S. dollar strength and subdued demand from industrial buyers are also contributing to the ongoing pullback.
Momentum indicators point to a potential consolidation phase as the market assesses the balance between investment demand and industrial consumption outlooks. Technical traders are closely monitoring support levels near the recent price troughs, with upside resistance seen near the psychological $80 threshold. The ability of silver to find stability around current levels could determine whether the metal sustains a defensive posture or regains positive traction in the short term.
Key Drivers:
• Firm U.S. dollar weighing on precious metals amid lower risk appetite
• Profit-taking and cautious industrial demand expectations pressuring prices
