Outlook and Recommendation

Silver ended the month exactly mid range between the high and low for the month at 33.475. Silver underperformed the price of gold, Gold stocks fared slightly worse than the gold price, as the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) dropped by as much as 0.7% to $47.68 per share.

Highest: 34.485	Lowest: 32.995	Difference: 1.490	Average: 33.988	Change %: -2.29

Industrial metals soared as demand in China grew, but could not sustain the upward movement. Silver remains in a positive mode as it is benefitting from the industrial metal demand offsetting the drive in precious metals.
