Market sentiment and silver

In recent weeks, the silver market wasn’t the only one to experience an unclear trend. The U.S long term treasury yields have also presented a similar movement in the past several weeks.

Despite the sharp movement in the 30-year treasury yields during the month, the yield slipped by only 0.07 percentage points (up to date). Even though long term yields and silver price have a weak correlation, they usually tend to move in similar direction, especially with the current Fed’s monetary policy.
