Following gold prices, the price of silver was slightly higher yesterday in response to a weaker US currency. The soft market seemed to indicate that participants were in no mood to commit too much before today’s US employment figures which could be the catalyst for a breakout in either direction. One interesting fact to mention according to the Silver Institute is that ‘the 2008 average silver price was $14.98, nearly a 12% increase over 2007 – the best average annual price since 1980’.The short and long term trends are bullish while medium term trend is bearish.
