Spot silver prices increased $0.10, or 0.74 percent, hitting $23.70 an ounce, Reuters reported. Silver for July delivery on the COMEX in New York stayed the same, also at $23.70. However, silver futures are down more than 21 percent compared to this time last year.
Forbes reported that silver prices are experiencing a seven-month-old downtrend on the daily bar chart. Yet July silver futures bears have the “overall near-term technical advantage.”
Money Morning said silver prices are likely to experience record-breaking gains in the near future.
