Silver futures data in July has also seen a big shift, with futures trading around the $28.00 level. Typically, the futures market is the tail that wags the dog. Even though the spot market is bigger, the futures markets is known to be more accurate in terms of their price expectations.
Physical demand data this week also showed a four percent uptick for silver, which underpins the notion that silver safe-haven demand, and indeed factory demand for the shiny-metal remains alive and well.
The notion that the reflation trade is back-on-track is also bullish for the price of silver and other precious metals. Numerous raw commodities are exploding to the upside at the moment, including tin, lumber, grains, and coffee.
Furthermore, a drop in COVID-19 cases in the USA suggests that the pandemic is bullish for silver, and bullish for the global economy. All the stated reasons all lend credible reasons while silver prices are rallying.

According to the ActivTrader Market Sentiment tool traders are still euphoric towards the price of silver, with some 79 percent of traders still betting that the shiny metal has further upside ahead. Typically, retail traders are on the wrong side of the trade and have poor market timing when trends start to form. However, they have been on the right side of the trade so far.
Another habit that retail traders have is exiting winning positions too early. If we start to see silver holding onto its gains and silver advancing, this could mean silver has more strong gains ahead.
