Silver Falls to $21.58 an Ounce as Dollar Strengthens

Today, silver fell 1.2 percent, or $0.26, to $21.58 an ounce, according to Reuters.

Precious metals have retained their appeal in the wake Tuesday’s US data, which shows that in December, home price gains slowed. Also influencing silver are February’s consumer confidence levels, which came in lower than expected, and European and Asian equities, which fell today.
