Silver trades higher as demand increases. It hit a high of $32.18 at the time of writing and is currently trading around $32.09.
The encouraging economic data from China bodes well for industrial metals such as silver. In the third quarter of 2024, the Chinese economy grew by 4.6% year-on-year, slightly surpassing forecasts of 4.5% but down from 4.7% in the previous quarter. This marks the slowest growth rate since early 2023, reflecting ongoing issues such as a declining property sector and weak domestic demand. Year-to-date GDP growth stands at 4.8%, falling short of Beijing's 5% target. Meanwhile, industrial production increased by 5.4% in September, exceeding expectations, and retail sales rose by 3.2% year-on-year, outperforming analyst predictions.
