Mid-Day Gold & Silver Market Report – 12/6/2010
12/6/2010 12:02:19 PM By: Eli Hamilton
At 12PM (CST) the APMEX precious metals prices were:
- Gold price – $1,415.60
- Silver price – $29.76
- Platinum price - $1,715.10
- Palladium price - $751.10
COMMENTARY: Silver spot price reaches $30.00 for the first time since early 1980. The United States economy may have avoided a “double-dip” recession as the S&P 500 rebounds by 20% since July. Still, this rollercoaster ride has many savvy investors buying precious metals. Silver seems to be the most popular at the moment due in large part to the proportionately low spot price. At around $30 per ounce, many first-time investors can buy substantial quantities with a smaller commitment.
Gold price is up $9.50 – Silver spot price is up $0.49 – Platinum price is down $14.40 – Palladium spot price is down $19.00
