Silver Weekly Special Report based on 1.00 Lot Calculation:
EVENT:
- US NFP and Unemployment (Friday, June 7th at 13:30 GMT+1): The United States will be releasing nonfarm payrolls and unemployment. Nonfarm payrolls have been trending lower recently, with markets forecasting 180k vs 238k in the previous month. If the Nonfarm payrolls continue to fall while unemployment rises, there could be extended US dollar weakness and may push silver higher.
- US Inflation (Wednesday, June 12th at 13:30 GMT+1) The United States will report its CPI for May. April CPI came in at 3.4%, Year-over-Year, well below its peak of 9.1% peak in 2022. Inflation continues to trend lower, with levels approaching the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. The lower inflation could be positive for the silver, as it could indicate to the Federal Reserve that it may be appropriate to cut interest rates.
- US Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision (Wednesday, June 12th at 19:00 GMT+1): The Federal Reserve Bank will meet on June 12 th to set the Fed Funds rate target. According to the most recent estimates, analysts are expecting the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates at the current level of 5.50%. However, with inflation falling in April, the Federal reserve may reconsider its current rate policy, and could look to implement cuts sooner, which could drive silver prices higher.
OTHER ANALYSIS:
- SILVER DEMAND: The United States remains the most important market with 22% of global demand for silver, while China represents 15% of global demand for silver (Source: Bloomberg). China's economy could potentially grow by about 5%. A silver price was fueled by increased safe-haven demand, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine intensified. Strong manufacturing data from top consumer China and projections for growing solar installations improved the metal's industrial outlook.
ANALYST EXPECTATIONS
- The Silver Institute forecasts global silver demand to hit 1.2 billion ounces in 2024, the second-highest level ever recorded. The Institute believes Gold could rise initially, followed by a rapid surge in silver prices. The report asserts that silver consistently outperforms, albeit belatedly. The Silver Institute believes that silver could potentially reach $50, but only after gold surpasses $2,200, which it already has. Therefore, a Silver wave could be possible relatively soon. Although the price could go down.
- UBS: The bank targets a price of $36.
PRICE ACTION
- ALL-TIME HIGH PRICE: $49.80. Silver jumped to $49.80 in 2011, during the debt crisis in Europe. Currently, Silver trades around $30.30 and if full recovery is made this could offer an upside potential of around 64%. However, the price could also decline.
