The Price of Silver Is Finally Rebounding This Week

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - August 21, 2018

After becoming significantly oversold late last week, the price of silver has managed to show some strength.

So far that bounce has been somewhat timid. But conditions are ripe for a strong rally.

If sentiment proves to have hit bottom and the dollar continues to weaken, then the price of silver may be able to put on an exceptional rally from here...

Here's What's Next for the Price of Silver in 2018

The price of silver didn't move much early last week, but the events in Turkey have since pushed the metal even lower.

Serious pressure on the Turkish lira, which bled into emerging markets, acted like steroids on the dollar.

Initially, silver prices sold off but quickly reversed as silver benefited from safe-haven buying, as did the dollar.

Here's a look at how silver prices are trending now and whether we've finally reached a bottom for the precious metal...

Here's Why the Price of Silver Has Been So Volatile – and What's Next

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - August 7, 2018

The price of silver made a valiant effort to rally twice last week, but to no avail. Rather than head toward gold and silver as safe havens, investors favored the U.S. dollar.

The U.S. Dollar Index made another run towards 95.5, punishing silver prices and a host of other commodities along the way.

Here's exactly what has been moving the price of silver this week - and where I see the metal heading from here...

This Indicator Shows the Price of Silver Should Start Rallying Soon

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - July 31, 2018

While the price of silver continues to languish, an excellent contrarian signal has emerged.

After silver's recent foray into correction territory, the metal remains there after bouncing back only slightly.

Meanwhile, silver futures positions held are rapidly approaching levels that in the past have marked the start of strong rallies higher.

What's Next for the Price of Silver in 2018

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - July 24, 2018

What I've seen from the price of silver this week suggests it may be done falling.

After peaking at $17.55 in January, silver prices are now down 12% and into what's widely considered correction territory.

Silver has now dipped below its December low and matched its low of July last year.

That could be a sign of a double bottom, so we may have seen the worst of this correction already.

What This Critical Change Means for the Price of Silver

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - July 10, 2018

Last week I asked if the price of silver's decline since the Fed rate hike had been enough.

I believe it has, and it's a turning point for silver...

I'll show you my exact silver price prediction too, but I want to take a deeper dive into last week's silver prices first...

The Price of Silver Is Now Dramatically Oversold

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - July 3, 2018

The price of silver has been punished since the last Fed rate hike, but are we close to a bottom?

Thanks to a strong rally in the U.S. Dollar Index, where it climbed 180 basis points in just two weeks, silver prices have been stuck in the doghouse.

Now that silver is nearing a bottom, here's my newest price target...

Silver Prices Are Near Their Bottom, and That's a Good Thing

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - June 26, 2018

Silver prices took a beating last week, but the metal may be near its bottom.

The mainstream media is turning against the metal, which is a good sign weak hands have already sold.

And the indicators I'm seeing show silver could rally in a hurry when the time is right...

Why the Price of Silver Is Down This Week and Where It's Headed Next

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - June 19, 2018

I’m excited about silver.

Now let me first say I know what happened to the price of silver over the last week.

The precious metal is down 2%, and that’s after the Fed rate hike is finally out of the way.

I also know the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is up over that same time.

In fact, it jumped some 150 basis points, driven by both the rate hike and weakness in the euro.

But remember, gold tends to put in a low around the time we get rate hikes, and it also tends to put in a seasonal bottom around mid-June.

And silver tends to follow gold’s lead.

Here's Where the Price of Silver Is Heading After the June FOMC Meeting

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - June 12, 2018

The price of silver is up 3.4% in the past week, while gold has trended sideways.

The Fed's FOMC meeting this week is what silver investors are watching now.

There are strong odds the Fed will announce a rate hike this week.

The market is interpreting that as confidence in sustained economic strength and inflation moving closer to the 2% target.

I think the expected rate hike this week will work in silver's favor, helping the metal rise further while it continues to gain against its richer cousin, gold.

Silver Prices Are Approaching a Key Breakout Point

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - June 5, 2018

A weakening dollar hasn't spurred silver prices like we'd expected, but the indicators I'm looking at show silver is nearing the tipping point it needs to surge higher.

The Fed's looming rate hike next week could tamp down silver in the short term.

But that's already baked into the price, and the technical indicators I'm watching are forecasting higher silver prices after the rate hike...

Silver Prices Are Showing Signs of Breakout Potential

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - May 30, 2018

Although gold headed mostly higher last week, it was a tale of two directions for silver prices...

Silver was down early in the week, but as the dollar extended its run higher, silver followed along.

Here's why it supports my higher silver price target over the short term...

Here's My Newest Target for the Price of Silver

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - May 22, 2018

A funny thing happened with the price of silver early last week. After both silver and gold dropped in the face of surging 10-year Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar, silver parted ways with gold.

Gold prices corrected, then essentially moved sideways. Silver prices, on the other hand, rose mid-week even as the dollar was gaining and gold wasn't.

I think silver will continue to move from underpriced to more fairly priced. And a couple of technical indicators continue to support that view.

Here's What's Next for Silver Prices in 2018

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - May 15, 2018

After putting in a distinct bottom early last week, silver has staged a roaring comeback.

From Tuesday's low to Friday's high, silver was up 3% over just three days. Today (Tuesday, May 15), silver prices are hovering near $16.30 per ounce.

The markets powered higher last week as the dollar headed south.

Before I get into my silver price outlook, here's how the precious metal is trending now...
