Silver rally faces key technical resistance.
Silver has diverse industrial demand from solar panels, smartphones, TVs, semiconductors and AI data centers, which has contributed to a global supply shortage. Silver rallied in August as technical trends turned more favorable, but it is now approaching strong technical resistance. Inflation, interest rates and US dollar weakness are key macro factors that could determine whether silver can continue higher, with dollar weakness historically driving investors into physical silver and gold as an inflation hedge.
