Summary

Gary Wagner, editor of TheGoldForecast.com, discusses silver's sharp June surge and gold's sideways consolidation. He links precious-metals support to a weaker dollar, unresolved trade and tariff uncertainty, and Fed policy expectations while laying out key technical levels for gold and silver. Wagner remains long-term bullish on precious metals but warns of a sizable gold correction if macro fundamentals shift and sees extreme short-term volatility in silver.

  • Silver rose more than 10% in under two weeks while gold consolidated near $3,300-$3,400.
  • Wagner views dollar weakness as a key driver for gold and silver, with the dollar index at a critical level near 98.
  • He expects no Fed rate cut at the June FOMC and says the labor market may determine the timing of future cuts.
  • Gold remains technically bullish above the 50-day moving average, with Wagner's year-end target at $3,600-$3,700.
  • He warns that a break below $3,100 could signal a gold bear market and a $300-$700 correction if fundamentals shift.
  • For silver, he is long-term bullish, may trim 20%-25%, and sees $42 as next resistance with extreme volatility.
  • Tariff and trade-negotiation uncertainty remains a supportive factor for precious metals.
Ideas

Gold bullish; year-end target $3600-$3700.
Gold remains in a bullish market above its 50-day moving average and a compression triangle, with major support around $3,200 and first support near $3,300. Wagner's year-end call is $3,600-$3,700 for spot and futures closer to $3,700. He cautions that upside is more limited after the parabolic run, but does not expect the bull run to be over, especially if the dollar stays weak; investors without gold should scale in cautiously rather than allocate all at once.

Short dollar; 98 break opens further decline.
The U.S. dollar has fallen from 110 on the dollar index to below 100 and is at a critical area around 98. Wagner thinks it is more reasonable to expect the dollar to trade sideways or lower, and if it breaks below 98 it could fall another 4%-5% over the year. Dollar weakness is a key support for gold and silver because gold is paired against the dollar.

Silver long-term bullish; dollar weakness supports.
Silver has broken out to multi-year highs near $37 after being rangebound, and Wagner is long-term bullish because dollar weakness and precious-metals demand should support it. He owns physical silver bought around $30, expects it to be much higher in 10 years, and would not sell completely; he might trim 20%-25% after the run, but the story is not over.

Watch silver futures for pullback after $37.
In the short term, silver futures may be vulnerable after breaching $37. Wagner says if the move proves unsustainable, futures traders should look to sell into it rather than buy and hold; $42 is the next upside resistance, $47.50 is the absolute high, and support is $33.80 then above $31. He expects extreme volatility at these levels, so tight stops are unlikely to work and traders need an interim strategy.
