Gold, Silver, and Platinum Projections – Gold Retreats from Record Highs as Dollar Strengthens, Silver and Platinum Also Experience Declines
September 19, 2024Silver Prices Surge to Near 2024 High After Federal Reserve Rate Cut
September 21, 2024The silver market experienced a significant rally early Thursday in response to the Federal Reserve’s 50 basis point interest rate cut on Wednesday. Analysts predict continued volatility as a result of this cut, although they caution that the market may not be as favorable as some believe. The interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve has raised concerns about potential panic within the Fed, which could impact silver prices. Traders may need to sell off positions to raise liquidity due to the recent strong performance of silver. This selling pressure could affect leveraged instruments and lead to broader market sell-offs. While there may be buying opportunities during pullbacks, analysts anticipate challenges ahead for silver to break above previous highs. The short-term outlook is positive, but uncertainties surrounding the Federal Reserve’s actions and the potential for economic downturns in the future remain. Only two similar interest rate cuts have occurred in the past 25 years, both preceding significant recessions. For a comprehensive view of today’s economic events, refer to our economic calendar.
