- Silver price gains momentum to near $34.35 in Monday’s early European session.
- Fears of trade wars and geopolitical tensions boost the safe-haven demand, supporting the Silver price.
- The renewed US Dollar demand might cap the upside for XAG/USD.
The Silver price (XAG/USD) attracts some buyers to around $34.35 during the early European session on Monday. Potential trade wars and ongoing geopolitical tensions boost the safe-haven flows, benefitting the white metal.
Traders are worried ahead of a new round of reciprocal levies that the White House is due to announce on Wednesday. Trump said late Sunday that the administration is hurrying to determine the specifics of its new tariff agenda ahead of its self-imposed deadline of Wednesday, considering possibilities after promising to remake the American economy with a slew of new levies. Aggressive tariff policies could exert some selling pressure on the Greenback and lift the USD-denominated commodity price in the near term.
Additionally, strong industrial demand, especially from new-age industries like EVs and solar energy, creates tailwinds for the white metal. Gains are also expected in the consumer electronics market, as the development of artificial intelligence systems will continue to boost product offerings.
The US ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for March will be in the spotlight on Tuesday. In case of a stronger-than-expected outcome, this could underpin the Greenback and cap the upside for the Silver price.
