What Happened to Silver in 2012?
Silver traded in a wide range in 2012. The launch of QE3 in September provided a late-year boost, and silver touched $37 in late February on momentum from gold's surge. Industrial demand from solar and electronics remained robust. Silver ended the year slightly higher than it started, though well below the 2011 highs.
