Silver is considered an asset that simultaneously reflects financial market investment sentiment and real economy expectations, as it possesses the dual characteristics of being both a precious metal and an industrial raw material.

Overnight, the New York stock market showed an upward trend led by tech stocks, which helped restore risk appetite. Meanwhile, expectations that silver demand will continue to expand in industrial sectors such as AI data centers, solar energy, electric vehicles, and power infrastructure also supported prices.

The closing performance of major U.S. indices on July 6 (local time) was as follows. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.29% to 53,055.91, the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.12% to 26,121.16, and the S&P 500 index increased 0.72% to 7,537.43.

Markets are also closely watching the future direction of U.S. monetary policy.

Conversely, there are also analyses indicating that signals of rate hikes could weigh on the future trajectory of safe-haven assets.
