A report issued by the Research Center for Research showed that Silver prices It increased in local markets by 1.9% during last week’s trading, while the ounce on the global stock exchange increased by 2.4% to close at its highest levels since August 2011, supported by the weakness of the US dollar, and the market conviction of the Federal Reserve adopts a more facilitated monetary policy, as well as the transformation of investors towards silver with the continued rise of gold prices.
Silver continues to rise … and touch its highest levels since 2011 backed by the expenses of reducing interest
At the local level, the price of a gram of silver rose 800 by about one pounds, to close at 55 pounds after it opened the week at 54 pounds, while globally, the ounce increased from $ 42 to 43 dollars, an increase of one dollar.
At the local level, the price of a gram of silver 999 amounted to 69 pounds, and 925 caliber recorded about 64 pounds, while the price of the silver pound (925 caliber) stabilized at 512 pounds.
Extremes since the beginning of the year
The report showed that silver has increased locally since the beginning of the year by 34% (equivalent to 14 pounds per gram), while it jumped globally from $ 29 to $ 43 an ounce, an increase of $ 14, or 48.3%, to be classified among the best performing assets among precious metals this year.
Although the dollar index increased by 0.29% to the level of 97.647, which is usually considered a pressure factor on the commodities denominated in the dollar, silver and gold were able to continue ascending, which reflects the strength of the purchasing momentum in the market.
Support from federal policies
The last silver momentum is largely driven by expectations of reducing interest rates by the federal, and according to the CME Fedwatch tool, investors see a 91.1% probability of reducing interest at the October meeting, and 80.4% for an additional reduction by a quarter of a percentage point in December.
These expectations constitute an important shift in American monetary policy that supports precious metals, because low benefit reduces the cost of alternative opportunity to maintain the unintegral assets of returns such as gold and silver.
Industrial demand and investment flows
The cash factor alone was not the engine, as prices also support the increase in industrial demand for silver from the sectors of electronics and solar energy, as well as strong investment flows to silver -backed indicators, and with the escalation of economic fog glob, investors continue to search for safe havens, which is in the interest of white metal.
Future risks and expectations
However, the market remains vulnerable to risks, the most prominent of which is any slowdown in industrial demand or sudden transformations in the policies of the central banks towards monetary militancy.
In a recent report, HSBC believes that medium -term silver expectations are positive, based on the rise of gold, increased geopolitical risks and industrial demand, expected to exceed $ 45 for an ounce before the end of 2025 if the federal fulfills an additional reduction in the interest.
Historical comparison: the $ 50 barrier
The report indicated that silver recorded the level of $ 50 an ounce only twice in its modern history:
The first in 1980 during the “Hunt Brothers” crisis in the United States, when the Nelson and William Hunt tried to monopolize the market, so that the prices rise recorded before it collapsed after the authorities’ intervention.
The second in 2011 during the global financial crisis and the European debt crisis, when investors resorted to silver as a safe haven, to touch the prices of a $ 50 barrier again before returning to decline with the improvement of the indicators of the global economy.
These two historical stations confirm that the arrival of silver to 50 dollars is often related to exceptional circumstances, whether financial crises or dense speculation, which makes this level as a “psychological ceiling” that investors ahead the higher the pace of economic turmoil.
