Precious Metals Leading Charge HigherSilver FuturesCOMEX:SI1!CME_GroupStarting off the week today, traders are seeing many markets moving higher with the precious metals and energy markets leading the way. Gold futures over 2.5% on the session while Silver led the charge higher being up nearly 5%, and the Crude Oil market saw gains north of 3% while Natural Gas was up over 7% on the session. Equity markets traded slightly higher on the session but did not see the volatility seen in the precious metals or energy markets. Looking at the economic data today, there was a big slate of data coming out of the U.S. looking at ISM manufacturing and S&P Global manufacturing that came in worse than expected. Tomorrow, traders will get a look at CPI coming out of Europe and JOLTs data here in the U.S. that could add additional volatility to the precious metals for the rest of the week. Along with that, the CVOL for Silver still remains very wide as seen below, and looking back over the past year shows that the volatility is relatively low compared to the current underlying price even with the spike traders saw today.
