Silver price is under selling pressure today as more countries are preparing plans to reopen their economies. Improvement in the coronavirus front and positive news from Gilead’s remdesivir drug on the first clinical trials also boosted investors’ sentiment.  Gold is also under pressure as investors shift their attention from safe heaven assets to more risky assets.

The fundamental data are dismal across the globe, with most of the economies slipping into recession. The US GDP in the first quarter of 2020 fell 4.8%, below the forecasts of 4%. Fed kept the interest rates unchanged, and Chairman Jerome Powell said that the health crisis would have a severe impact on the economy.
