Demand for silver continues to rise sharply, driven primarily by the technology, electric vehicle, and solar power sectors—where silver is highly sought after due to its superior electrical conductivity.

Gold prices fell on Thursday (05/06), supported by easing geopolitical tensions, dovish central bank signals and continued weakness in U.S. labor market data, factors that continued to boost demand for safe-haven assets. The call between President Xi and Trump came hours before German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's scheduled visit to the White House, where he is expected to press Trump to ease tariffs on European exports amid rising global trade tensions.
