Silver market strong in 2009: Silver Institute

摘要

When the levee breaks, a common safe haven for the investment community is gold. But according to the World Silver Survey 2010, prepared by GFMS for the Silver Institute, despite the financial bedlam of the recession and Europe's sovereign debt crisis, silver prices reached peaks not seen since 1980. Citing strong investor demand and a recovery in industrial demand over the past year, silver posted an average price of 14.67 dollars per oz. in 2009, the second highest average for the white metal since the 1980s.
