Silver Futures Trading Update

Acting like gold, as an inflationary hedge, and the with prospect of the descending dollar, and the question of Iran and the Middle East moving in and out of sights – but given demand within the industrial sector, for use in products and jewelry - silver rises early in the year and retains much of its earlier months percentage gains in early August when dipping. Retaining greater percentages gains than of gold.

Although the economic picture including energy costs remain undetermined at large.

Given soaring gold prices, more silver used in retail jewelry could replace gold in the jewelry market depending on its behavior.
Big picture: Silver highlights
The month of March, 2008 trading cycles saw silver futures crest $21.00, before retreating in following months until July 2008, when silver contracts tipped a high of $19.00 and easing. Though by early August 2008, silver futures down at $14.535 on COMEX , a six month low and moving like gold against crude oil futures.

By September 3, 2008 Silver futures have fallen at a greater percentage than for gold over the course of the year.
