Silver prices have rose for three straight weeks now putting bulls back in the driving seat. The rally came on the heels of a weaker US Dollar index and another move towards the $2,000 level for gold.
The physical buying this year has been strong from central banks, and once the Fed concludes hiking rates, news of the pivot will spark an additional potential buying opportunity in silver.

Silver could play catch up in the second quarter to gold price. Silver and gold usually share a strong price correlation due to the safe haven status of both metals and their correlation with the greenback.
