Forecast
Silver Futures in 2011
With a track record that
has proven promising, even stellar, there is a lot of speculation
about what silver futures will reach in the year 2011 and beyond. Take
recent history prices since 2007, when the metal was trading in the
$12 to $14 range, until early January of 2011 when the per ounce price
topped $31.
Or go back ten years if you like 2005 when silver traded below $5.
Clearly producing huge returns that figure among the most
profitable of any precious metals trading. Combine this with the fact that
the vast majority of all silver has already been mined and this is
quite appealing to many traders - aside from other influencing factors,
like its industrial applications and utility value (which strongly
relates it with the economy). It's not surprising thus that there are
reasons mounting for forecasts and predictions on what it will peak at.
We therefore only thought it made sense, to ask you the trader, about where
you think silver will reach its ascent.
Take
our Silver survey
Usually,
since futures contract prices of silver are strongly
related with spot, and even though a number of other factors
affect trading prices, we will assume that the price
predicted
correlates as an indicator affecting
delivery months
at that time, since they are related with such closeness. So, we are
concerned with the greatest futures trading price(s).
We will assume trading will end on the third to final business day of
the maturing delivery month, as it does in due course. Please check back as results to be tallied and published on an ongoing basis
during year 2011.
