We have said the bulls had a bad day on Wednesday. How would you rate their yesterday’s performance? Heck, they are not having a good day today either. Black gold is heading for the biggest weekly loss in 2019. Has the support fallen out from below? Where can we...

Silver has come under fire lately. Since the beginning of 2019, the price of the gray precious metal has declined by a little more than seven percent. Could it go lower?
