Silver Prices Decline as Dollar Strengthens and China’s Economic Uncertainty Grows
September 24, 2024Traders Take Profits as Precious Metals Market Retreats
September 28, 2024The price of silver (XAG/USD) has dipped to around $31.64, with a slight drop attributed to a minor increase in the US dollar value and a general positive sentiment in global markets. However, the demand for silver is on the rise due to India’s expanding solar cell sector, which has led to a surge in silver imports to the country. This increase in demand is primarily driven by the shift towards advanced and high-efficiency solar cells that require a higher silver content. Leading companies in India, such as Tata Power and Reliance Industries, are ramping up their production capacities, further boosting the demand for silver. Analysts predict that silver prices will continue to increase due to these industry developments, although risks such as price volatility and supply constraints persist. Despite China’s recent stimulus efforts that have pushed silver prices up, concerns about weakening industrial demand in sectors like solar energy could limit the metal’s potential for growth. Analysts forecast that silver may outperform gold in the short term, but caution that its performance is closely tied to broader market trends and the performance of gold. Silver’s current trading price suggests a possibility of further downside if key resistance levels are not surpassed, with support levels identified at $31.43 and $31.18. The technical outlook for silver indicates a bearish sentiment, with attention focused on the 50-day EMA at $31.88 to determine the metal’s future direction.
