Silver Holds Above $60 as Elections Near Spina Notes
Silver prices have shown resilience this week, holding steady above $60 per ounce despite recent dips, according to Peter Spina, CEO of GoldSeek.com. Spina noted a firm start to the week, attributed in part to low expectations of a rate hike in the near term. The approaching U.S. elections also factor into market sentiment, with potential government efforts to boost economic morale amid weak polling.
In his latest analysis, Spina pointed out that the short position in the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) increased by 8.35 percent, reaching 30.12 million shares, or 5.51 percent of the total shares outstanding. This marks a significant shift in trading activity within the silver market. Earlier, Spina covered opposition to Belo Sun Mining's $300 million gold project in Pará, Brazil, led by celebrity backers.
