\"Silver<\/a><\/div>\n

By Frik Els<\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Gold for delivery in August, the most active contract on the Comex market in New York, was exchanging hands at $1,260.90 in after-hours dealings Wednesday as the metal continues to recover from two-month lows hit a fortnight ago.<\/p>\n

July silver contracts were priced at $17.18 in afternoon trade in New York, like gold clawing back territory lost earlier this month. Silver is up just under 7% after hitting its lowest level for 2017 on May 9.<\/p>\n

Hedge funds or so-called managed money investors in gold futures and options reduced their exposure to the yellow metal in recent weeks, but silver speculators have been exiting bullish positions at a head spinning pace according to trader positioning data supplied by the government.<\/p>\n

In a trading note Saxo Bank points out overall bullish positioning or net longs in silver held by derivatives traders have plummeted from a record high to a 16-month low in the space of just five weeks.<\/p>\n

Gold and especially silver ETF investors are taking an entirely different view of the market. <\/p>\n

Silver ETF holdings have shot up by nearly a 1,000 tonnes as bargain hunters pick up metal during spells of weakness. Retail investors have also been pouring money into gold ETFs this year, despite a few wobbles along the way.<\/p>\n
