The latest reading of US manufacturing activity from Markit Economics came in at 52.9, the lowest level since October 2013. Economists had estimated a Purchasing Manager’s Index flash reading of 53.8 in August, unchanged from the prior period. Manufacturing output growth slowed from a three-month high in July, weighing down the index. New orders and employment also grew at a slower pace.

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the precious metal around the $15.00 handle could be a good strategy if we get a bullish reversal candle on daily chart such as bullish pin bar, bullish engulfing candle or hammer because the turmoil in stock markets may fuel demand for Silver as safe heaven investment.
