With the US dollar continuing to struggle, here are more bullish catalysts for the gold and silver markets.
November 17 (King World News) – Peter Boockvar: We talk a lot about the euro heavy dollar index (euro is about half the index) when measuring the direction of the US dollar, which today is a hair away from the weakest level since April 2018.

Patience is required to get through the lengthy consolidation before the next major leg higher in gold and silver.
