Silver has continued to push higher with gains of this newly titled "critical mineral" near 5% over the past 24 hours.

The record high GBP midday fix of £40.27/oz is under threat tomorrow with the early evening November 12th spot price trading at £40.74/oz. Despite short term speculator interest during October, the silver price continues to be underpinned by strong physical demand and has shown its resilience against bear market predictions.
