Willem Middelkoop at Wall Street Silver on the rapidly rising silver price, market manipulation via futures, and the geopolitical influences that continue to affect precious metals today.
Gold prices are rising, but rising mining costs are dampening earnings potential, according to our analyst Neil Adshead in an interview with Kitco News' Paul Harris.
