Silver prices traded in range as investors awaited U.S. economic growth data due later this week. The office of the US Trade Representatives is holding an official hearing on Tuesday and Wednesday on proposed tariffs on Chinese products worth $16 billion, before presenting policy suggestions to the US President.
The dollar came under pressure, prompting a bid in safe-havens ahead of a meeting on trade between President Donald Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. Threats from both sides ahead of the meeting has dented expectations that the talks could mend the rift between the United States and the European Union.
The Germany’s Ifo business climate index this month fell to 101.7 from June’s 101.8, but it did not register as big a drop to 101.5 as forecast. The economists maintained their 2018 gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for Germany at 1.8%. The US new home sales fell 5.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 631,000 units last month, the lowest since October 2017.
May’s sales pace was revised down to 666,000 units from the previously reported 689,000. New home sales in the south, which accounts for the bulk of transactions, declined 7.7% in June. Sales fell 5.2% in the west and tumbled 13.4% in the mid-west.
While the drops were largely driven by supply constraints, there are concerns that persistent weakness could eventually spread to the broader economy. Key things to watch today will be the European central bank’s rate decision for July, the US durable goods orders and wholesale inventories last month, as well as its weekly jobless claims.
