Silver Basis and Co-basis and the Dollar PriceNow let’s look at silver. In silver, the basis is basically unchanged but the co-basis went up a bit. The silver market got just a bit tighter, and our calculated fundamental price is up more than 30 cents to about a quarter above the market price. Not exactly “bet the farm with leverage territory”, but definitely not “short this dog” either. Watch this space. We have some exciting data science to reveal soon. |
