Typically what is good news for gold prices is also good news for silver prices. And that's what we saw last week when the Fed did nothing and the metals got some love.
The silver price also broke above a key level.
What's more important to note about silver though is this one number...

But here's a silver price outlook that will show the real story with this metal...

The silver spot price today is up $0.19 to $14.86. This is great to see after the past week as silver gave up a little ground.

The silver price is now up nearly 10% since the end of January.

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.

In the world of precious metals, silver is considered the "Poor Man's Gold."
Anyone who believes this nonsense will stay away from investing in silver for all the wrong reasons.
With the S&P 500 pushing resistance once again at 2,100, perhaps it's time to visit the land of the contrarian trader, for as the saying goes, as the stock market falls, the precious metals markets rise.

Silver prices today are trading at their lowest levels on the year, continuing a two-month bear cycle where the white metal has fallen significantly.
Prices are taking recent cues from the U.S. Dollar Index, as well as the U.S. Federal Reserve. Silver futures activity has also been a headwind for more than a month now.
