Silver now up 17% on the year

Last friday and with a couple of hours of trading left we put out a piece about how silver was out performing gold and is up about 10% for the year. Then in those last trading hours of last Friday silver shot up from just above $30 to $31.5.

The rally has continued into today and silver is now up to $32.36 – which means that silver is now trading up some 17% for year, putting on an additional 7% in just over one trading day. Highlighting just how quickly silver’s fortunes can turn around.

Clearly the bulls are feeling very strong at this point and any shorts seem to be running for cover.

The 200 daily moving average which was broken at the end September is now clearly within reach sitting just above $35. This should act like a tractor-beam pulling the silver price upwards as the bulls now have a very clear target to aim for – still some 10% higher from here.

But as we’ve pointed out with gold (here and here) it is in €s where the real action is at – silver is now only 3% away from getting back to its 200 daily moving average:
