Silver price forecast 5 years institutional investors reading the

Institutional investors reading the silver price forecast 5 years are factoring the Federal Reserve’s monetary path, with scenarios where a weaker dollar supports silver averaging $32 per ounce over the medium term. The scheduled September employment report will not be released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday until the federal government shutdown ends. The jobs data will be an important gauge of the health of the U.S. labor market following the Fed’s quarter-point interest rate reduction in September. For now, analysts will rely on private data and estimates. The median forecast estimates the economy added 51,000 jobs in September while the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.3%. Despite the lack of data, investors are pricing in two more rate cuts in 2025, which would bring the year-end target federal funds rate to 3.50% to 3.75%. At the start of 2025, the federal funds rate target range was 4.25% to 4.5%. While gold and silver have traditionally both been viewed as safe-haven assets, silver’s increasing industrial demand has decoupled it slightly from that aspect. When Trump announced his "Liberation Day" tariffs on April 2, silver was impacted due to fears that a recession could cause demand for the metal to slip. Silver price forecast 5 years, according to corporate hedging models, uses a blend of supply chain risk analysis and demand elasticity, leading to mid-range projections of $28–$31 per ounce.
