Spot silver prices declined with gold on a day when the rally in the US dollar was too big to be ignored by the participants in the white metal’s market, despite the fact that some traders think silver is somewhat underpriced compared to gold. The chart shows a crossover below the 9 and 14 day moving averages but later in the session silver managed to regain some of the lost ground probably due to stronger oil prices in response to continuing tensions in the Middle East . Remember also that silver is a consumed commodity, unlike gold which is simply added to the mountain of gold in circulation, so economic and industrial issues will always play a larger part in the moves in the silver market. The outlook for silver is still bullish in the short and long term, while medium term trend is bearish.
