Today, both the metals have fallen sharply in the futures and spot markets, after the publication of US employment data which has improved than expected.

Yesterday, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics stated that a total of 528,000 jobs have been created in the country in July, sharply beating analysts' expectations of a job addition of around 250,000. An improved job market indicated that the economic conditions are gaining momentum. Although the country is dealing with a 40-years high-level inflation rate and some economists are expecting that a recession can be experienced later this year, but the optimistic employment figure is a hope for the economy. The US Federal Reserve is also focused to control the inflation rate, the central bank is hiking the interest rate aiming that. This is another reason that the gold and silver markets have mostly been bearish in the past few months. As the silver market is down in India now, investors can look out at it for investment to buy silver at lower prices, for good long-term returns.
