silver weekly bnsWeekly Analysis and Recommendations:

Silver ended the week on a down note as precious metals lost their appeal. Silver traded as low as 21.42 but rebounded to end at 22.243 while Copper  closed at 3.205. The base metals pack traded on a negative note as positive employment data from the US in yesterday’s trade and estimates of positive data from US in evening session fuelled QE taper concerns that could be announced in the FOMC meet next week. Strength in the DX acted as a negative factor. Weak global market sentiments added to the downside pressure on prices.

This week prices will be closely associated to the upcoming FOMC meeting scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Investors turned their attention away from Syria as the risk of a U.S. military strike receded. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov were set to conclude the final day of talks in Geneva on Friday to study the proposal for Damascus to give up its chemical weapons. Instead, market participants focused more on the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting next week, waiting to see whether the central bank will start scaling back its $85-billion-a-month asset-purchase program. Analysts speculate that recent upbeat data will make for a strong enough case for the Fed to begin the tapering process at the meeting.
