its interesting to observe the spread at times for silver. currently we have buy at 46.63 and sell at 46.77 (although the chart has suspiciously stayed at that range for the last 5 minutes) seems that the 14c difference is the largest spread ive seen in the past month. is this mainly due to illiquid trading or volatility ? i note the chart would mainly indicate recent volatility but im interested to know whether the number of contracts available in total is being affected by such a rapid rise in the silver price. its not as if there is an infinite supply of silver.
Interesting question..I also not sure myself. I am still new and let someone enlighten us with the answers. But, from what I have read, commodities they are volatile, thats why some advise us to hold physical rather than ETFs.. correct me if is wrong.. Probably the buying power is too high? I don't believe precious metals (silver, gold, etc) will be illiquid trading. Try to put all your silver at the trading section, and you will see =) PM if you have any for sale.
