First Majestic holds on to inventory until silver prices improve

As the Covid-19 pandemic has sparked higher than normal volatility in the metals market near the end of the March quarter, NYSE- and TSX-listed First Majestic Silver decided to rather not sell its silver and gold inventories.

The company says paper prices of the metals dropped significantly below true physical prices and that these ounces have been carried over into the second quarter to be sold as prices improve.
