Silver Rises to $21.09 an Ounce, Highest Since March

Today, silver rose 1.3 percent, or $0.27, hitting $21.09 an ounce, its highest price since March, according to Reuters.

European shares have been dropping since the release of less-than-ideal German economic data and the US dollar is currently weak. Both of those factors have been making precious metals more appealing, as has the continued tension in Iraq.
