Seasonality Chart of the Day from www.EquityClock.com
Precious metal prices and precious metal equity prices have a history of moving higher from late June to early September. In addition, Silver futures since 2020 have significantly outperformed the S&P 500 Index and Gold futures during the late June to early September period.
Short term technical indicators (Daily Stochastics, RSI and MACD) turned higher last week corresponding to start of the late June/early September period of seasonal strength. A move by Silver above its 20 day moving average at US$26.82 and its 50 day moving average at US$27.13 will provide additional technical proof that favourable seasonal influences are working this year.
Symbol for Silver iShares is SLV.
Precious metals equity ETFs including XGD.TO, GDX, GDXJ and SIL have a similar short term technical pattern.
