Silver Attempts to Trim Losses

According to the market observers, the bulls have been trying hard to push the price of Silver enough to trim the Thursday losses. Despite their efforts, they have not been able to reclaim the trading price of the pair at a particular price of $19.00.

The data suggests that the $19.00 price is the barrier that the investors are trying hard to reclaim. Initially, the investors did try taking an advantage of the weakening situation of the USD. In the recent trading sessions, the trading value of the USD experienced a 0.50% dip.

This information was confirmed through the US Dollar Index and it showed that the dip recorded was 108.093 bps. The drop was recorded despite an upbeat that was recorded for the US economic data.
