Silver futures maintained gains for a second consecutive session despite significant intraday volatility. Prices dipped to an intraday low of 79.64 before recovering to trade near 85.00, testing the top of the recent closing range. The U.S. dollar and interest rates remain central to price action, while ongoing tensions in the Middle East continue to influence the broader metals complex. Gold futures also saw pressure but found support above 5,000, recovering from a daily low of 5,021 to trade back above 5,100. Both metals are carving out short-term ranges as participants weigh industrial activity and global economic conditions.
