Silver and gold typically have a strong seasonal pattern around the summer months of July and August. This is in part due to jewellery stock purchases ahead of Christmas and buyers for the Indian wedding season. One of the other key drivers for precious metals remains the path of the USD and real yields, but the strong summer seasonal pattern is worth being aware of.
