Precious metals traded lower in Shanghai, with silver experiencing a significant drop and platinum showing new signs of weakness. By the end of the day, silver, gold, palladium, and platinum all closed down, with silver settling at $83.73, as reported by SilverTrade.

Investors are now watching to see if prices will continue to fall, or if buyers will step in and prevent further declines after the recent drop.

Silver Leads Shanghai Metals Selloff

Metals traded on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) and the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) experienced significant price drops today, with silver falling the most. Silver closed at 18,251 yuan per kilogram on the SHFE, down 3.24%, which translates to roughly $83.73 per ounce.

An analyst noted that silver experienced the biggest drop among metals today. Gold prices also fell on both the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) and the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE). SHFE gold closed at 983.56 yuan per gram, a decrease of 1.58% (approximately $4,512.10 per ounce). SGE gold, specifically Au(T+D), closed at 981.95 yuan, down 1.22% (around $4,504.72).

Silver prices on the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) closed at 18,202 yuan per kilogram, down 2.49% to around $83.50. This suggests current selling pressure in the market is comparable to selling activity in SHFE futures contracts.

The latest data suggests a slight weakness in the silver market. Silver stocks held in SHFE vaults rose by 4,520 kilograms, reaching a total of 993,726 kilograms – about 31.95 million ounces. Additionally, silver stocks in SGE vaults increased by 91,305 kilograms during the week ending May 22nd.

Platinum Chart Weakens Further

Platinum prices fell in Shanghai by 2.20%, closing at $2,191.23. This decrease happened as analysts began to express worries about the future price trends of platinum.

According to one analyst who is optimistic about platinum, the price may be nearing the end of a downward trend. They point to a key support level around $1,870, which is the 200-day moving average, as the first price point to watch. If the price falls further, the next significant support level is around $1,700.

DeepValue Signals indicates that platinum is currently undergoing a correction. It’s been testing a previous upward trendline after recently falling below it. Currently, platinum is attempting to recover, but it’s facing resistance and trading within a narrow price range.

Currently, the market is watching to see if platinum can recover and move above a key resistance level, or if it will continue to fall. If the price doesn’t fall below its current support level today, it suggests the price might continue to fall, potentially focusing attention around the $1,870 mark.

Traders Watch Support After Broad Drop

In Shanghai trading today, prices for all other precious metals decreased. Palladium fell by 1.86% to $1,499.66, and platinum decreased by 2.2%. Although gold didn’t fall as much as silver, it was still part of a broader sell-off.

If silver prices keep falling and the supply of silver keeps growing, people might start to feel less optimistic about it.

Following today’s large price decrease, the $83-$84 range is becoming a key level to watch. If the price rises from this level, it suggests buyers are still active. However, if the price falls below it again, traders might look to the next support level for potential buying opportunities.

Looking at platinum, the key thing to watch is how the analyst’s charts are developing. If prices continue to fall as indicated by the current pattern, initial support could be around $1,870, with a further potential floor at $1,700.

The metals market is currently seeing investors pull back. Recent declines in silver prices in Shanghai, a rise in metal storage, and platinum falling below a crucial price point suggest traders are reducing their positions and waiting for clearer signals before making further moves.
