Silver Market Updates

The Curious Widening of the Bid-Ask Spread in Silver

I received a lot of email in response to this. Everyone wanted to know what I meant, and if this predicts a rising or a falling silver price. I think the price is likely to fall, though that prediction is not based on the widening spread. It’s based on my supply and demand analysis. My standard caveat is: never naked short a monetary metal.

Am I the only person who thinks inflation is here right now?

Well, I’m perplexed and befuddled. For a couple years now I’ve been reading economic news stories like the above where it is seemingly “accepted” by the mainstream media that the rate of inflation is “low” and contained, and, as this blurb indicates, even alarmingly so. But I don’t get it. Inflation, to me, is high and going even higher. I base this opinion on the prices of things (goods and services) that I actually buy.

Silver: A Great Buy Opportunity! Up-date N° 27

The bull market of the silver price started towards the end of 2001. On the way from $ 4.02 to the recent intraday all-time high of $ 48.42 (an increase of 1,104%), several significant corrections took place, the most severe one in 2008 when the silver price sank by 57% only to jump 441% to a new all-time high.

The Chartology of Silver (Both Sides of the Coin)

In this Weekend Report I would like to show you some charts for silver which shows a bullish and bearish scenario. As we are at an inflection point we need to monitor both sides of the precious metals complex for clues that may give us the next important direction this group, as a whole, may move. To pick an absolute bottom is next to impossible to do but one can get very close sometimes if a clear and open mind is present.

Why the Bearish picture in Silver suddenly has increasing odds of changing

Silver is "Coiling Up" on the Daily chart and there is also a minor downward sloping trendline that may be coming into play soon. Take a look at the Daily chart below and the drawings. What the Coiling pattern shows me is there is a lot of tension in the recent open interest and that makes it a compression chamber of energy brewing. There is only one side in the zero sum game of futures that can make a profit so should Silver start to make a move away from the Coil with an increase in Volume…

Silver Bottoming?

Much has been written about gold but fewer talk about silver. Silver has been displaying similar technical patterns as gold. And like gold there remains constant bearish chatter that silver prices have a lot further to fall. The bear reports have silver falling to $17, $15 and even lower. Silver has in the past, been a monetary metal.

How can someone like me make a prediction about silver prices?

In a sense, I’m not qualified to issue an “expert” opinion on the future prices of silver and gold. I’m a managing editor of a weekly newspaper with a degree in political science. I took two economics classes in college. I don’t work in the “industry” that establishes PM prices. My knowledge of futures markets, “all-in” mining costs and technical analysis is elementary at best.
