Silver rising with gold in the spotlight

Silver has enjoyed a “stealth bull market”, according to Adrian Ash, director of research at metals marketplace BullionVault, as supply of the metal has lagged demand for seven years running.

Silver’s highs have come “under the radar for two reasons,” said Ash. “First, that silver has set fresh records outside the US dollar, leaving headline writers to miss its new highs in terms of other currencies including the pound.

“Second, and rather than shooting the lights out like gold has over the past 12 months, the price of silver has risen to new annual and month-average records without hitting fresh daily highs.”

    S. 633, introduced Feb. 19 by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nevada, seeks to extend the Presidential dollar and First Spouse gold coin series to include deceased presidents and their spouses not yet honored.

    Jimmy Carter Presidential dollars would be authorized to be struck with a circulation finish in bags and rolls offered for sale from the Denver and Philadelphia Mints, and Uncirculated finish versions from both production facilities and Proof coins from the San Francisco Mint.

    For the First Spouse gold coins, Proof and Uncirculated versions would be produced as numismatic products at the West Point Mint bearing the facility’s W Mint mark.
