Are silver prices poised to win big from Biden's stimulus plan? [Video]

Phil Carr The Gold & Silver Club

This week, President Joe Biden unveiled his ambitious $2.3 trillion Green Energy and Infrastructure spending plan, calling it a “once in a generation” investment.

Fresh from passing a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill – President Biden has now turned his attention to a similarly massive plan of investment into infrastructure, which means that the U.S is going to need more commodities.

America requires Copper, Palladium, Cobalt, Lithium and rare earths for batteries. Above all, it needs Silver – and lots of it.

Silver will go into the electric vehicles that President Biden has said he’ll buy for the government fleet, in the charging stations to power them and in the cables connecting new wind turbines and solar farms to the grid.

Now, here's where things get interesting.

There is a lack of Silver around the world. There is not much Silver at any refineries and even getting your hands on physical Silver is difficult. In fact, Silver is now rarer than Gold, which means there is a risk of a real Silver squeeze this year.

Silver is a key component in President Biden’s ambitious Green Energy and Infrastructure plan. Based on our proprietary research, photovoltaic demand for Silver could exceed 3000 tonnes in 2021 – and that’s just the beginning.

As the U.S and other governments around the world pursue more aggressive Green Energy and Infrastructure policies to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 or sooner – this alone will continue to be a major driver of Silver demand for years to come.

GBP/USD: Daily gains remain capped by 1.3650

GBP/USD leaves behind Monday’s pessimism and advances marginally on Tuesday. Cable’s humble gains, however, appear to have met quite a decent resistance in the 1.3650 zone for now, in a context of a slight selling pressure hovering around the Greenback.

EUR/USD struggles to regain pace; gyrates around 1.1670

EUR/USD clinches humble gains around 1.1670 following Tuesday’s close on Wall Street. Indeed, marginal losses in the US Dollar encourages spot to set aside two dauly pullbacks in a row and maintain the 1.1700 barrier on the cross-hairs for now. Moving forward, US inflation tracked by the PCE and another revision of Q2 GDP data should keep investors entertained on Wednesday.

Gold: Buyers still hold the grip

Gold navigates the middle of its daily range near $4,650 per troy ounce on Tuesday. The lack of clear direction in the yellow metal comes on the back of the widespread cautious tone among market participants, a mildly offered stance in the US Dollar and a marked decline in US Treasury yields across the curve.

Australia CPI expected to show inflation easing in July

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) will publish the July Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Wednesday at 01:30 GMT. The report is expected to show that inflation rose 3.2% from a year earlier, easing from the 3.8% posted in June. The monthly CPI, however, is forecast at 0.8% following the -0.1% print from the previous month.

Canada hits US goods with tariffs; The rate market sees a problem

On September 8, Canada begins charging its own importers 15%, 25% and 50% on roughly 700 lines of American goods. The measure is billed as dollar for dollar, and on the arithmetic of covered trade it is. What it is not is a tax on the United States.
