Analysis and Recommendations:
Silver continues to climb trading at 29.885 adding 1.25. Silver futures prices have been quoting higher today at the early trade amid higher equities and optimism The ECB decided to leave key interest rates on hold along with any other policy. In his statement the Director turned back on the EU leaders saying once again it was time for them to fix the problems in the EU and not hope for bank intervention. However, any rigid decision may be unlikely before the Greek re-election on June 17. Silver would therefore be well supported from the market optimism.
However, the Euro area highest bond premiums may restrain the euro and therefore the gain might be limited for silver as well. We therefore recommend remaining long for silver from lower levels as we are expecting the US session could be well supportive for silver anticipating the Fed testimony will be failure to show a good picture for the economy tomorrow.
