Silver prices rose by nearly 0.72% as surprisingly robust manufacturing figures out of the US, Europe and China sparked hopes that green shoots of recovery were sprouting in the global economy, which wetted an appetite for risk that sent the greenback falling and Silver rising.
The ISM’s U.S. mfg index jumped to 54.1 vs 53.1 in Dec, and while slightly below some market expectations, the figure did break even further away from the 50 mark, the boundary between economic growth and contraction.
The Markit Economics mfg data based on a survey of PMI in the euro region rose to 48.8 in Jan from 46.9 in Dec.
Positive output figures in Germany, the UK and China emerged as well, fueling the risk-on session. Mfg figures prompted investors to sell their dollar positions and go long on stocks and currencies worldwide, thus ditching greenback positions in the process.
Since bullion often trades inversely with the dollar, the risk-on session prompted a run to the silver throughout the early portions of the day. Some market watchers warned, however, that the silver rally could cool.
