This morning, precious metals prices surpassed 3-month highs set last week. The price of gold rose to $ 989, just shy of the important $1,000 resistance area. Gold has surged nearly 10% in May, its best month since November 2008.
Meanwhile, silver has risen 27% over the past month, its largest monthly jump in 22 years. Growing demand for silver persists as both a precious and industrial metal.
While gold is trading above its 2008 average price, silver is still lagging. At just above $15 per ounce, silver is still 25% lower than its high of $ 21 set in March 2008.
