Silver price rebounds today after two days of sharp losses as the tensions between Iran and USA ease. So now investors shift their attention to the fundamental data. The US Department of Labor reported yesterday that initial jobless claims dropped by 9,000 in comparison to the previous week to reach 214,000 topping analyst’s forecasts of 220,000.

Safe haven assets were under selling pressure the last two trading sessions as Wall Street indices hit fresh all-time highs ahead of the upcoming signing ceremony of the Phase One trade deal in Washington between China and USA.

Investors await the critical Nonfarm Payrolls tomorrow for fresh clues on the health of the U.S. economy, and will have a massive impact on the USD. Economists expect a weaker reading tomorrow of 168k, the previous reading was 266k. For the Private Nonfarm Payrolls figure the forecasts are for 146k below the last reading of 254k. The participation rate expected to stabilize around 63.2%.
