Silver Outlook
Silver prices are modestly up in midday U.S. trading Thursday, supported in part by a weaker U.S. dollar index on this day and by the overall bullish chart postures for both metals. Prices are well their daily highs, however. October gold futures were last up $8.50 at $1,955.30 and December Comex silver was last up $0.157 at $27.245 an ounce.
Global stock markets were mostly weaker overnight. U.S. stock indexes are weaker at midday. Traders and investors are wondering if the rebound in the U.S. stock market will continue, following solid gains posted in the stock indexes Wednesday. The months of September and October can produce serious turbulence in the stock and financial markets. New turmoil in the stock markets should benefit the safe-haven gold and silver markets.
The regular monetary policy meeting of the European Central Bank was Thursday. The ECB did not make any significant changes in policy, as expected, and said rates will remain low until inflation hits its target rate of around 2% annually.
