One key driver behind Monday\u2019s muted action was a shift in trade policy expectations. Former President Donald Trump delayed his proposed 50% tariff on EU goods until July 9, dialing back immediate geopolitical risk. While last week\u2019s rhetoric around aggressive tariffs spurred safe-haven flows into gold and silver, the delay reduced urgency in those bids. Trump\u2019s original proposal to escalate from an existing 10% rate had rattled markets, but Sunday\u2019s extension\u2014confirmed after talks with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen\u2014eased short-term fears.<\/p>\n
Despite the calm start to the week, underlying fundamentals for silver remain strong. Last week\u2019s rally was underpinned by intensifying concerns over U.S. fiscal policy, as the latest tax-and-spending bill is projected to expand the federal deficit by $4 trillion. This, coupled with Moody\u2019s downgrade of U.S. sovereign credit, has amplified safe-haven demand across the board.<\/p>\n
The U.S. dollar index saw its steepest weekly loss since April, down 1.35%, as international sentiment turned bearish. Net short positions on the dollar swelled to $17.3 billion. Meanwhile, long-dated Treasury yields climbed sharply, with the 30-year hitting 5.14%, signaling mounting investor concern about inflation and the potential need for Federal Reserve intervention.<\/p>\n
