Futures News, June 5th: Since May, silver prices have risen and then fallen, with the price trending downwards within a narrow range. As of June 4th, the domestic spot price of #1 silver was 17,711 yuan/kg, a cumulative decrease of 4.41% compared to the beginning of May. In early May, the US and Iran signaled a willingness to negotiate, coupled with Peru's initiation of an energy emergency decree, causing silver prices to fluctuate upwards. However, the resignation of dovish voting member Milan led to market expectations of interest rate hikes, putting downward pressure on silver prices. Looking ahead, the macroeconomic logic remains focused on the Fed's interest rate decision and the US-Iran negotiations; silver prices are expected to lack a clear direction in the short term.
