Daily Silver News: October 24 – Silver Extends Yesterday’s Decline

Silver price is coming back to $23 level as U.S. dollar weakens.

The silver futures contract lost 1.25% on Monday, October 23 as it retraced more than a half of its Friday’s rally of 2.1%. On Friday it broke above a short-term consolidation along the $23 price level and yesterday it came back to that level again. On October 4 silver price reached new medium-term low of $20.85 and it was the lowest since early March, and last Friday it traded as high as $23.9.
