OANDA:XAGUSD   Silver / U.S. Dollar
Current trend

During yesterday's trading the price of silver grew to the level of 17.93 (approaching 6-month maximums) as safe haven assets continued to attract the investors' attention in view of the current issues around North Korea and increased possibility of a nuclear military conflict. Today the market moved a bit back from yesterday's maximums. The prices are still under pressure, as the USA tightened their rhetoric in respond to the missile launch by North Korea.

Today the price of silver may also respond to statements by a few Fed's officials. Traders will be waiting for hints at the terms of the next interest rate increases. If the rhetoric of the Fed's officials is "hawkish", the price of silver is likely to drop.
