Silver surges after weak NFP, markets await Powell

Weaker than expected NFP report could pave the way for another rate cut in the US and that was exactly what precious metals needed to roar higher. Silver prices stormed higher (+4% from the daily low!) after a short (but dynamic) correction, platinum saw major gains too. Investors still await a speech from Fed’s Powell (5:30pm BST/6:30pm CEST) as it may have a major impact on weekly closing prices.
