US Silver Scrap prices gain in line with COMEX Silver

New York (Dec 4)  United States silver scrap prices gained on the Scrap Register Price Index as on Monday, tracking the up trend in silver futures prices at New York Mercantile Exchange mainly due to drop in the dollar following news that the U.S. and China agreed to put any new tariffs on hold for 90 days.
