ASX Silver Stocks – August update
I last posted on ASX silver stocks on 27 May 2020. Since then the post has averaged about 30 views per day, quite high for a non-promoted blog. But perhaps not surprising given the out-performance of silver since then. Silver peaked at USD29.50/oz on 6 August, it has had a pullback since to USD25.69 at time of writing. There may be more profit-taking ahead, but I have little doubt we will see a second leg up.

These are impressive performances for less than 3 months, however it must be noted that a strong gold price has also had a significant influence on share prices.
Finally, a comment on one of my favourite silver stocks, SVL. The chart below shows the low in March and then the strong increase since late July. The peak of the cycle was 29.5c on August 7. Several other stocks show a similar pattern.
Given that the gold silver ratio is still quite high at 76, watch out for the next leg up for silver.
