Silver gains 1.5% on the back of G7 actions against Russia and on hopes for more support in China
Silver gains 1.5% today but upbeat moods can be found on the all metals markets, especially precious metals markets. Some G7 countries announced that they will ban imports of gold from Russia. Russia is the third largest gold producer in the world and also ranks as third by the size of proven reserves. However, gold exports from Russia were already shrinking in recent years and have dropped further in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Having said that, the impact of this G7 action on gold fundamentals will be limited.
On the other hand, weak data on Chinese industrial profits for May have once again reignited hopes that Chinese authorities will provide more support for the economy. Apart from a strong rebound on silver, we also observe a 0.5% gain on the gold market, 0.6% gain on the copper market and 1% gain on the iron ore market.
