Silver Price Forecasts & Predictions

This week I had a great conversation with Matt from Silver Fortune and we talked about silver and gold in terms of accumulating physical metals and also trading paper metals for both long and short-term gains.

Silver peaked just shy of $50 during April of 2011. The price has been correcting ever since, falling below $14 per ounce in 2016 and again late last year. But there is a silver lining to such a deep and protracted price correction.

The current silver bottoming process is very similar to that of 2001 to 2003. It took a while for silver to establish a base which set up the bull rally in the following years to 2011. The current bottoming has been longer, but it fits the profile of the early 2000...

Silver has enjoyed a modest recovery over the past six weeks, rising from a low of $14.00 in September to $14.70 as this article is being written. What is in store for this dual precious and industrial metal as 2018 closes out? Is there more upside to come or will...

Chief Numismatist at U.S. Money Reserve John Rothans recently reviewed several price forecasts to help you understand what 2018 has in store for the precious metals market.

The large speculators (non-commercials) increased their net-short position in silver for the third straight week. The last time they were net-short was in 2003 when silver rallied from $4.50 to $8.35 in 10-months (see bullish silver chart). Gold's COT improved with...
