Todays decline has pulled prices back to near pre-Christmas holiday levels. Despite todays sharp drop, SLV is still up over 140% year-to-date. According to fund documents, to meet the surge in demand this year, SLV had added nearly 67 million ounces of silver as of last Friday. However, analysts point out that while this figure seems large, it represents only a small fraction of total global silver demand this year. They emphasize that strong demand from solar panel manufacturers and increased imports from India (where precious metals are far more popular among savers than in the US) are the main drivers of overall demand growth.EIA Natural Gas Report: For the week ending December 19, total U.S. natural gas inventories were 3.413 trillion cubic feet, down 166 billion cubic feet from the previous week and down 129 billion cubic feet from the same period last year, a year-on-year decrease of 3.6%, while also 24 billion cubic feet below the 5-year average, a decrease of 0.7%.U.S. natural gas futures maintained their upward trend, currently up 5.2%; the EIA report showed that the inventory decline was in line with expectations.

During the Tokyo session, the EUR/GBP exchange rate of 0.8610 attracted increased interest. Prior to the announcement of German Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, the asset broke above a tight consolidation between 0.8610 and 0.8620.

 

The risk profile has detected a comeback as S&P500 futures have reduced their gains. Additionally, the US dollar index (DXY) has declined to roughly 110.35.

 

Following Thursday's announcement of monetary policy by the European Central Bank, bulls of common currencies faced a sharp sell-off (ECB). Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank (ECB), announced a 75 basis point (bps) consecutive rate increase and a push of interest rates to 1.5%, the highest level since 2009, in order to combat the record inflation jump and ensure a speedy return to 2%.

 

The less forceful tone of policy directives hurt euro bulls. Christine Lagarde appeared dovish during the press conference, but Commerzbank analysts still forecast a big rate hike at the December meeting.

 

The future focus of investors will be on German Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures. The consensus predicts that the annual GDP growth rate for the third quarter will be 0.8%, down from the previous reading of 1.7%. Quarterly GDP data will demonstrate a 0.2% drop.
