Gold and silver continued on their over half a year decline this week as both metals posted fairly large losses. While these losses have completely sucked the life out of any progress gold and silver might have made last week or the week before, they are not too surprising. There are a number of different […]

Gold and silver can’t seem to catch a break as the first full week of May brought with it more disappointing weekly numbers. Two main reasons behind why precious metals did so poorly this week was a surging US dollar and poor economic news from China. While for the first few days of the week […]

Gold and silver didn’t do much moving this week as spot prices stayed in roughly the same position on Friday as they were at the outset of the week. Some big news out of Europe did little to affect the price of precious metals while investors in North America were keeping a close eye on […]

For the first time in a while I bring news of positive results for both gold and silver. A rise in demand for precious metals across the board is the main culprit behind my metals performed so well, but some weak economic data from around the world helped as well. It seems as though US […]

The Open Market Committee meeting brought with it, as it usually does, plenty of speculation that ended up being only that. Cyprus, a financially failing nation […]
