“Silver Guru” David Morgan gives his take on current silver market
In a recent interview with Liberty and Finance, the esteemed precious metals analyst David Morgan, widely known as the “Silver Guru,” delivered a compelling analysis suggesting that silver prices are on the cusp of a significant surge. Drawing upon his extensive knowledge of the precious metals market, Morgan highlighted the current lack of substantial upside resistance for silver, hinting at a potential rapid upward movement that has yet to materialize fully.
“I mean, we’re high enough in the silver price for it to have very little upside resistance and to be able to just move, move, and move some more, and it hasn’t started yet.”
Morgan believes that broader market dynamics and the inherent appeal of silver as a monetary and industrial metal will eventually draw them back in.

Gold up .6%, dollar weak
Spot gold was up 0.6% at $3,373.09 an ounce, as of 0552 GMT. U.S. gold futures gained 1.5% to $3,393.80.
The weakness in the dollar index serves as a strong catalyst, said Kelvin Wong, a senior market analyst, Asia Pacific at OANDA, adding that a “bullish breakout” of the $3,346 resistance triggered technical buying.
Spot silver was up 0.4% at $36.38 per ounce, platinum rose 1.2% to $1,271.15, still hovering near a more than 4-year high, while palladium was down 1.1% at $1,068.19.
