Silver price extends yesterday’s decline, it’s the lowest since mid-October.
The silver futures contract lost 2.78% on Tuesday, November 7 as it went down to its recent lows again on strengthening U.S. dollar, among other factors. On Friday silver price was above the $23 level and it was extending an almost month-long consolidation. On October 4 silver price reached new medium-term low of $20.85 and it was the lowest since early March, and on Friday October 20 it traded as high as $23.9.
Today silver is trading lower again as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The silver price is 0.5% lower as it is trading below $22.50. What about the other precious metals? Gold is 0.2% lower, platinum is 1.5% lower and palladium is 1.6% lower and palladium is 3.1% lower. So the main precious metals’ prices are slightly lower this morning.
