Speculators Flock to Silver

Silver headed for a bull market in its best start to a year in more than three decades as the European Central Bank expanded economic stimulus measures, boosting demand for the metal as a store of value.
Holdings in exchange-traded products backed by the metal have posted three straight weekly gains, while U.S. government data show money managers raised their net-bullish wagers to the highest since August. An ounce of gold bought as much as 71.5 ounces of silver on Thursday, compared with an average of 58 in the past decade, signaling the white metal is inexpensive relative to gold.
The euro weakened to an 11-year low against the dollar as the ECB expanded its bond-buying program, boosting demand for precious metals as alternatives to currencies that are being revalued. A collapse in oil prices has boosted the appeal of gold amid the threat of deflation, and the price on Wednesday topped $1,300 an ounce for the first time since August.
“Silver is enjoying safe-have bids along with gold, and there is also a lot of physical buying” Frank McGhee, the head dealer at Alliance Financial LLC in Chicago, said in a telephone interview. “There is a flight to safety because of all the concerns about the economy.”

“Households’ inflation expectations have adapted, and both near-term and longer-term inflation expectations have eased to single digits for the first time since September 2009. Inflation outcomes have fallen significantly below the 8 per cent targeted by January 2015. On current policy settings, inflation is likely to be below 6 per cent by January 2016,” the RBI said in arelease on its decision to cut the benchmark rate.

In early trade, gold opened with a decline to hit $1224 in the international market translating thereby the lower level of Rs 26700 per 10 grams in spot domestic trade. But, following the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)'s surprise move to cut repo rate by 25 basis points to 7.75%, the rupee ended with a marginal appreciation of 0.07 to 62.07 against the dollar. After opening at 61.89, the Indian currency slipped to 62.14 but appreciated again to touch the high of 61.48 during Thu
