Silver Weekly Special Report based on 1.00 Lot Calculation:
EVENTS:
- THURSDAY, JULY 25 AT 13:30 GMT+1: US GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) (Q2) (first preliminary data). The US Economy grew by 1.4% in Q1 of 2024, down from 3.4% in Q4 of 2023. If the trend continues on, the US Fed may decide to cut its benchmark interest rate. This could potentially increase silver price.
- FRIDAY, JULY 26 AT 13:30 GMT+1: US CORE PCE PRICE INDEX FOR JUNE. The US will be reporting its core PCE price index for June, which is an important inflation metric that the Federal Reserve uses to determine future policy rates. Core PCE has been declining, and further declines could lead to higher rate cut probabilities, which could positively influence silver prices.
- WEDNESDAY, JULY 31 AT 19:00 GMT+1: US FEDERAL RESERVE INTEREST RATE DECISION. Federal Reserve Bank will meet on July 31, to set the Fed Funds rate target. According to the most recent estimates, some analysts are expecting the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates at the current level of 5.50%, but chances have been rising for a September cut.
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). The US imposed 50% tariffs on Chinese imports of solar cells, among the biggest industries for silver in an industrial end, to pressure output in panels throughout key factories in Asia with corporate bases in China. Investors continued to assess the demand outlook in top silver consumer China after an official report pointed to the second straight month of manufacturing downturn in June. In contrast, a private survey pointed to the fastest pace of manufacturing sector growth in three years.
ANALYST EXPECTATIONS
- UBS: The bank targets a price of $36.
- CITIGROUP: The bank targets a price of $40.
- JP Morgan: The bank targets a price of $34.
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 $27.80 and if full recovery is made this could offer an upside potential of around 79%. However, the price could go further down.
