This morning, silver rose 0.3 percent, or $0.06, hittingĀ $20.06 per ounce.

Investors are seeking a safe haven against the risks of global conflict, particularly as some see the situation in Ukraine escalating, according to Reuters. Other situations prompting safe-haven investment include the US intervention in Iraq; US Secretary of State John Kerry said the country will consider providingĀ additional aid once an inclusive government is formed.
