Silver prices are expected to move between $17.60 and $18.60 this week. Any weakness in gold prices is likely to negatively influence the price of silver.

In the event that prices settle below $17.60, there is a possibility that prices slip to $17.50. Silver prices typically weaken during this time of the year because of seasonal weakness in demand for the metal.

This coupled with any short-term concerns regarding the prospects of the global economy also are likely to bode well for the price of silver, because of its safe haven quality.
