Silver Fundamental Analysis April 6, 2012, Forecast
Analysis and Recommendations:
The Silver is trading at 31.663 gaining 0.619 in today’s session.
Silver would likely get a boost in the event of a decisive economic upturn or further monetary easing. Unfortunately, these two outcomes represent scenarios at the extremes of optimism and pessimism about the economy. And the Federal Reserve’s latest minutes dented hopes for more quantitative easing. The current reality of sluggish but persistent economic recovery amid multiple headwinds is less striking–with all that this implies for silver prices.
