Silver Edges Higher But Lags Gold Rally as Growth Concerns Weigh
Silver prices closed higher on Friday, but gains lagged behind gold’s breakout as weak U.S. labor data drove mixed sentiment across rate-sensitive and industrial-linked assets.

The U.S. economy added only 22,000 jobs in August, far short of the 75,000 estimate. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%, and ADP private payrolls also disappointed earlier in the week.

Stagflation Talk Builds, Curbing Industrial Silver Demand
Stagflation fears are gaining momentum, adding complexity to the silver outlook. Juan Perez of Monex USA noted that tariffs and policy uncertainty are weighing on hiring and cost structures, eroding industrial demand. Slower hiring may translate to weaker consumption, reducing demand for silver in sectors like electronics, solar, and auto manufacturing.
Wall Street echoed these worries, with major indexes reversing early gains. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all moved into negative territory by the close.
Market Forecast: Cautiously Bullish, but Growth Fears Loom
Silver’s bullish structure remains intact, supported by falling yields and a weakening dollar. However, its industrial role complicates the picture, with economic slowdown concerns tempering investor appetite. A sustained break above $41.47 could open the door to further gains, but traders should watch growth-linked headlines closely. The bias remains cautiously bullish in the short term—provided support at $38.20 holds.
