Silver prices fell on Monday. The dollar moved higher, which weighed on the precious metals complex. Since silver is priced in dollars, a stronger greenback weighs on silver prices.
The imminent 50-basis point Fed rate hike underpins a stronger dollar and a bullish outlook. The Fed is expected to raise rates this week. Gold prices moved lower as the dollar railed.
The ISM’s manufacturing index fell to 55.4 last month, the lowest since July 2020, from 57.1 in March.
Economists polled had forecast the index is rising to 57.6. The ISM survey’s forward-looking new orders sub-index dropped to 53.5 from 53.8 in March. The survey’s measure of supplier deliveries rose to 67.2 from 65.4 in March.
Technical Analysis
Silver prices fell on Monday but settled above the session lows. Support is seen near the February 2022 lows near $22.00. Resistance is seen near the 200-day moving average of 23.80.
