Gold prices held above $4,100/oz on Tuesday (November 11) during the Asian session. This was supported by increasing expectations of a Fed interest rate cut following a series of weak US economic data. On Monday, gold briefly touched a two-week high, while inflows into global gold ETFs in October increased again, providing a more solid basis for demand. The dollar also weakened on hopes of a resolution to the US government shutdown, while the US 10Y yield held near 4.12%, a tame level supporting gold. At the time of this analysis, gold prices were around $4,118. Disclaimer:This article is...
Gold prices were stable during the Asian session on Monday (August 25th), driven by a strengthening US dollar, but Powell's dovish signals at Jackson Hole kept downside risks limited. Expectations of a Fed rate cut in September lowered the opportunity cost of holding gold, although Powell warned that inflationary pressures were still trending upward and the labor market was starting to weaken. Meanwhile, Russia-Ukraine tensions added to the hedging bid for gold. Going forward, the direction of XAU/USD is likely to be determined by US dollar dynamics and US inflation/employment data: a...
The bias remains positive after Powell hinted at a Fed rate cut in September, raising the odds of a rate cut to ~80–90%. A softer dollar and yields are a tailwind for silver; near-term catalysts: the US PCE and payrolls releases, which will shape policy expectations. Fundamentally, the silver market is projected to be in deficit for the fifth consecutive year in 2025, supported by strong industrial demand (especially PV/solar)—a price driver behind daily volatility. Correction risks: a USD rebound or hotter US inflation data, which could reduce the probability of a rate cut. Silver price...

Gold extended its decline to around US$3,330 per ounce on Friday (August 22nd), holding within a narrow range as traders avoided major action ahead of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech, which could potentially signal the direction of US policy in the near future. On Thursday, Fed officials gave little indication of support for an interest rate cut next month, leaving the market awaiting guidance from Powell's speech amid signs of a cooling labor market, while inflation remains above target and vulnerable to tariff-related pressures. Investors still see a chance of policy...
Today, silver price movements are driven by the trade-off between gold's strength and global macroeconomic dynamics. Meanwhile, the industrial sector—particularly renewable energy, electronics, and electric vehicles—continues to drive silver demand, with its usage trend expanding. Concerns about inflation, geopolitical tensions, and diversification opportunities also strengthen silver's role as an alternative safe-haven asset. However, silver price volatility remains high, so while upside potential remains, investors need to consider the risk of sudden price movements, which are often more...
