Silver Pulls Back on Dollar Strength

Silver pulled back on Friday after Donald Trump-led administration announced it was working on a new stimulus package to ease economic burden of the American people.

The United States dollar gained as investors jumped on it to hedge against US-China trade tensions.

Silver that has risen to almost eight years high of $29.84 on Thursday pulled back after the US government announced its plan on a new stimulus package.

The haven asset, like Gold, pulled back to $27.97 on Friday during the New York trading session.

“While there are no early chart clues to suggest the gold and silver markets are close to major tops, both are now getting short-term overbought, technically, and are due for downside corrections in the uptrends,” Kitco Metals senior analyst Jim Wyckoff said in a note.

“And remember that with the higher volatility and bigger daily price gains seen at present, there will also be bigger downside corrections when they come.”
