Silver Spends Week Above $21, Nearly Hits $22

Last Thursday, Standard Bank warned silver market watchers not to be too excited about the white metal’s upward momentum as it has recently been “finding strong resistance on approach of $20.50.” Since that time, however, the South African bank has been forced to eat its words.

Last week (Feb. 17-21), the US Federal Reserves January meeting minutes temporarily brought a pause to silver’s movement momentarily, but rebounded to $21.90 by Thursday.
