Despite the dip over the last several days, we're still bullish on the price of silver in 2016.
Spot silver prices slipped $0.04, or 0.25%, to $13.82 in morning trading Tuesday because of a stronger U.S. dollar and stabilization in Chinese markets.

There are encouraging signs for the silver price in 2016...

Silver prices are having a tough session, and traders who saw August as a month to rebound from a bearish July are wondering why silver is going down.
With many investments down close to 5% on the month, and the white metal trading below its level at the start of the year, it's easy to get discouraged.
Here's why prices are falling, and why we're still bullish...

Silver prices today (Wednesday) picked back up above the $20 an ounce level, after languishing on speculator activity and coming out of a steady downward slump in July.
See why today the white metal is beginning to reverse course and head upwards…
