After a sharp rally to a 13-year high in early June, silver has undergone a healthy correction: down from around USD36–36.4/oz to the USD35.8–36.2/oz area today. Such a move is common after a major rally, when market players take profits. Market players adopted a wait-and-see position before the release of the US Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) data.

The Greenback receives support from a better-than-expected increase in labor market demand. This, in turn, exerts some selling pressure on the USD-denominated commodity price, as a firmer USD makes Silver more expensive for foreign buyers. Additionally, rising demand for industrial uses might contribute to silver's...
Silver prices are at $36,118 per ounce, reflecting a consolidation phase after a strong rally that took it to a record 13 years ago. Fundamentally, the weakening US Dollar and expectations of an interest rate cut by the Fed provide support for demand for safe-haven assets such as silver. In addition, strong industrial demand, especially from the renewable energy and electronics sectors, which account for more than 50% of global consumption, also support prices. Source: Newsmaker.id
