I am all out from USD/JPY and is looking at silver. Of course precious metals are under pressure form the strength of the US$, and the reality of tightening monetary conditions around the world is working against precious metals which bears no inherent yield from holding the asset. It is also widely priced in the greenback across the globe making it quite sensitive to an increasingly hawkish Federal Reserve. Nonetheless, I picked silver over gold because it has more industrial uses as the metal is invaluable to solder & brazing alloys, batteries, dentistry, glass coatings, LED chips, medicine, nuclear reactors, photography, photovoltaic (or solar) energy, RFID chips (for tracking parcels or shipments worldwide), semiconductors, touch screens, water purification, wood preservatives and many, many other applications. Based on that, I do not believe the price of silver can go down by that much....like e.g US$15-18.
Thanks for your reply, time and all the very best.
