Precious metals rose sharply in the afternoon amid weaker US dollar even as producer price inflation rose more than expected in November, adding to market uncertainty over the Fed next steps. Gold managed to jump above $1800 level, while silver jumped to a level not seen since end of April 2022 as cut in the reserve ratio by the PBoC sparked hopes regarding higher demand for industrial silver usage as electricity conductors. Also supply concerns also provided fuel for the bulls. Silver stockpiles at New York’s COMEX inventories plunged 70% in the last 18 months to just over 1 million tonnes. Meanwhile inventories at London Bullion Market Association decreased for the 10th month in a row to a record-low 27.1 thousand tonnes in November.
The next big catalyst for precious metals will be the US CPI report on Tuesday while the Fed, the ECB and the BoE will also decide on monetary policy during next week. The three major central banks are expected to deliver smaller rate hikes but attention will turn to terminal rates and any signs on whether policymakers are getting ready to pause or continue tightening.
