Bullish and bearish watch framework
The setup is generally more supportive when demand improves while real yields or the dollar ease and supply remains constrained. A stronger dollar, rising real yields, or weaker industrial activity can create pressure, depending on the metal.
Timing and events
Watch U.S. inflation and FOMC events, vehicle production, and major mine-supply news. Confirm release times with the relevant central bank or public agency because schedules can change.
Key risks
Metal prices can react sharply to currency, rates, inventory, or policy news. Physical demand and financial-market positioning can send conflicting signals.
