Silver is also getting support from the positive economic outlook in China, the world's largest silver consumer. Beijing recently pledged to implement "more proactive" macroeconomic policies and lower interest...
Gold (XAU/USD) prices surged higher on Tuesday after the market decided to focus on the US debt issuance that will shake up the bond market this week with a large allocation of 10-year and 30-year bonds.
