Silver Market Updates

The Bullish Case for Silver and Even More Bullish Case for Silver Stocks

We summarized our previous commentary on gold and the US Presidential Elections by stating that based on Friday’s decline, it seems that the bottom in the precious metals sector might have just been reached. Based on today’s rally in gold and silver, it seems that it was really the case.

Silver Market Morning

New York closed at $1,684.10 down nearly $37.00.

Silver ETF Impact 3

Silver is no doubt tiny on the grand commodities scale. But its attractiveness, spearheaded by a 1000%+ bull-to-date gain to its latest high, has spawned a wide range of products for investors to partake in. And one of the most unique and powerful is the SLV iShares Silver Trust ETF.

GoldCore Comments on Silver

Gold inched down near $1,700/oz on Friday after a drop through its support level at $1,710-$1,712 initiated stop loss selling. The Nonfarm Payroll number for October is released at 1230 GMT. 125,000 are expected for Nonfarm Payrolls, while the Unemployment Rate number is expected at 7.9%. Better than expected employment data could be negative for gold as it may rescind additional QE from the US Fed.

Silver Stocks vs. Palladium

Before making any investment decision it’s usually good to look at the situation from different perspectives and make sure that the action that you are about to take is really justified. In fact, the same is the case with any other decision as well. In the precious metals market the analysis of gold is usually supplemented by the analysis of silver and gold stocks. At times, analysts focus on other markets that often influence metals: currencies and the general stock market.

Gold Seasonals & Stochastics

At this point in time, silver looks at least as good as gold, and probably better. While I don’t subscribe to the view that silver can outperform gold over the length of this crisis, it’s still a superb asset to hold, and I was a buyer of a “player’s position” last week.

The History of Silver (Part 1)

Today, silver has thousands of modern industrial uses and is considered a store of wealth. However, the story of this legendary precious metal begins with its use by ancient civilizations. Silver has many attributes that made it so valuable to early peoples. It is malleable, ductile, lustrous, resilient, antibacterial, and rare. It was used to purify water and for ornate artwork – but more importantly it was perfectly suited to be a currency.
