Gold’s Up, But Where Does That Leave Silver?

So at this point 2019 is looking good for gold. Recent forecasts seem to consolidate around the 1350 price, so we may be close to a pause in the action now – but only the Shadow knows for sure.


But what about silver?  Silver is a peculiar two-sided thing, with both precious metal- and industrial use aspects.  Those, combined with the fact that there’s more silver available to mine than gold, means silver run-ups depend on investor sentiment to drive them, as it’s relatively easy to mine more when the price gets high.


Silver has enjoyed a good run-up as well lately, and there are similar signs that run may be ending. Possibly because gold prices tend to drive silver prices when precious metals prices rise – silver is, after all, the poor man’s gold.  For a good look at the factors behind this, we’ll point you at this article, then ask: What’s your opinion?  Let us know in the Comments below.
