The silver market managed an impressive run up in the morning action with the Dollar, gold, crude oil, platinum and copper action seemingly contributing to the bullish focus in the silver market. Apparently a host of physical commodity markets saw the surprisingly strong US Housing Starts and Permits data to be more important than the sagging Michigan Sentiment readings, as the overall market outlook this morning was pushed into locking onto the bright side of the US economic question. Certainly seeing the US Dollar close to retesting the lowest levels in 9 days prompted the metals markets to play up the bullish currency market angle again. In the end, seeing one of the worst performing sectors of the US economy improving (the housing sector) helped to shore up expectations of a revival of physical and investment demand for silver.
