This September has seen heightened international activity, with geopolitical conflicts, central bank interventions, and inflation concerns shaping markets and driving investor behavior. Such events have sparked increased activity in the precious metals market and pushed prices to new heights.
Bullion Standard continues to guide investors through the latest trends in gold and silver. With a wealth of educational resources, we’re committed to keeping our clients informed about the most significant factors influencing bullion prices. In this market report, we’ll break down the September 2024 Bullion Market.
September has seen notable fluctuations in the bullion market. International conflicts have pushed investors toward safe-haven assets including gold and silver.
Inflationary pressures, along with interest rate adjustments by central banks, have also increased demand for gold and silver. Let’s take a closer look at how both metals have performed this September:
Gold has maintained its role as a safe-haven asset, but September saw some volatility due to varying macroeconomic factors.
After a slight dip in early to mid-September—with prices reaching a low of around $2,577—gold began to rebound. This was due to growing inflation fears and recent talks of interest rate cuts from central banks. Gold prices closed at $2,581 per ounce.
Later in the month, demand for physical gold skyrocketed. In fact, prices reached a record high of $2686. Now, it’s showing signs of a bearish reversal. If gold prices fall below key support levels, they could continue to decline, potentially reaching $2,600.
In the beginning of September, silver prices ranged between $28 and $29 per ounce, with industrial demand from the green energy and electronics sectors serving as a stabilizing force.
Silver then hit a 12-year high due to rising industrial demand, particularly for use in green technologies like solar power, combined with increasing investor interest during economic uncertainty. A weaker U.S. dollar and speculation around central bank policies have also contributed to silver’s recent surge.
Moreover, China’s new economic stimulus package is expected to boost future silver demand, particularly in industrial sectors where silver plays a key role. In the near term, silver’s price movements will depend on upcoming economic data and central bank decisions.
Both gold and silver continue to show strength, supported by a mix of safe-haven demand and industrial use. Gold's appeal as an inflation hedge has been reinforced by central bank actions, while silver's growth stems from its industrial applications in green energy and technology sectors. Investors should watch for continued volatility, but the fundamentals supporting these metals remain strong, keeping them valuable additions to diversified portfolios.
This month’s review has highlighted the significant role that geopolitical tensions, inflation, and central bank actions are playing in shaping the precious metals market. Understanding these driving factors is essential for navigating future market movements. To anticipate future shifts, investors should stay informed about upcoming economic data and central bank policies.
