Analysis and Recommendations:

Silver ended the day at 28.913 following closely in gold’s footprints, so much so that the chart below depicts gold and silver movement for the day, and as you can see silver matched gold’s moves pip by pip.

Metals were down in early trading but by mid day, investor sentiments had returned to risk aversion and safe haven and gold was the favored player today accompanied by silver and the USD.
