Silver Price Forecast: Falling US bond yields lift XAG/USD to around $57.30

  • Falling US Treasury yields lift Silver towards $57.30.
  • US bond yields retreat amid concerns over AI-related growth.
  • US Dollar Index slips to 101.75 as US bond yields decline.

A 0.35% gain takes Silver (XAG/USD) to around $57.30 in Tuesday’s European session. Support for the white metal comes as United States (USD) Treasury yields ease following the previous day’s sharp rise.

At the time of writing, the 10-year US Treasury yield stands near 5.12%, down 0.5%. Yields on US-backed securities had climbed almost 1.2% to around 5.14%. In theory, declining US bond yields offer support to non-yielding assets such as Silver.

The US Dollar (USD) has also come under pressure from falling US bond yields. During European trading, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is down 0.22% at around 101.75. The index measures the Greenback against six major currencies.

Long-dated yields retreat as AI growth worries mount

Deutsche Bank attributes the move partly to mounting “Artificial Intelligence (AI)-related growth concerns helped to drive a decent rally for sovereign bonds,” noting that the US 10-year Treasury yield moved “down -16.5bps last week (+1.5bps Friday) to 5.07%.” The scale of the rally at the long end of the yield curve is evident in the strategists’ observation that “it was the biggest weekly decline for the 10yr yield since August 2025,” alongside their finding that the “30yr Treasury yield fell -17.5bps (+1.5bps Friday) in its biggest weekly decline since April 2025,” highlighting the strength of the move in longer maturities.

Silver Remains Under Near-Term Technical Pressure

Trading at $57.34 on the daily chart, XAG/USD retains a bearish short-term bias below the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) of $59.85. With prices still beneath this dynamic resistance, recovery attempts are likely to attract selling. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 38.15, in bearish territory just above oversold levels, indicating that downward pressure remains in place but has yet to become extreme.

For buyers, the first hurdle is the 20-day EMA at $59.85; a recovery above it is needed to ease the prevailing bearish bias. Should prices weaken, the low of 17 July at $54.77 provides the key support level.

Silver: Key Questions Answered

Widely traded by investors, Silver is a precious metal with a long history as both a store of value and a means of exchange. Gold attracts greater interest, but traders may choose Silver for its intrinsic value, to diversify their portfolios or as a possible hedge when inflation is high. Exposure can take the form of physical coins or bars, or investment vehicles such as exchange-traded funds that follow Silver’s price in international markets.

A variety of forces can drive Silver prices. Its safe-haven appeal means geopolitical uncertainty or concerns about a severe recession can lift prices, though generally less strongly than for Gold. Lower interest rates also tend to support Silver because it pays no yield. Since the metal is priced in US dollars (XAG/USD), movements in the US Dollar (USD) matter too: dollar strength usually restrains Silver, while a weaker currency is likely to lift its price. Investment demand, mine supply and recycling rates are further influences, with Silver considerably more abundant than Gold.

Among metals, Silver has one of the highest levels of electrical conductivity, exceeding those of Copper and Gold. This makes it widely used in industry, notably electronics and solar energy. Stronger demand can push prices higher, whereas weaker demand tends to depress them. Developments in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also cause price fluctuations. Large industrial sectors in the US and, especially, China consume Silver across a range of processes, while Indian consumer demand for Silver jewellery is another important influence on prices.

Given their similar safe-haven characteristics, Silver generally follows Gold’s direction and typically advances when Gold prices rise. Investors may assess the metals’ relative valuations using the Gold/Silver ratio, which measures how many ounces of Silver equal the value of one ounce of Gold. A high reading may be interpreted by some investors as evidence that Silver is undervalued or Gold overvalued. Conversely, a low reading could indicate that Gold is undervalued compared with Silver.
