However, many analysts believe that it is too early predict a rally in the bullion market.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Reuters, Nikos Kavalis, an analyst at RBS, said, \u201cWhat I would definitely say is, near term, I can&#8217;t see the price breaking higher, to $1,700 an ounce or above. It needs another catalyst, something more powerful than perhaps in the near future there could potentially be QE.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kavalis also feels that any further QE3 may not be arriving any time soon despite fed\u2019s hint on possible quantitative easing. &#8220;Of course, an excessively loose monetary policy environment will continue but whether there is a need for another QE, I am not convinced; we are in an environment where market-specific fundamentals are taking a bit of a backseat and general sentiment is really the driving force, he said to CNBC-Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile ETPs witnessed their largest one-day net inflow in a month, underpinning investors\u2019 demand for the metal, which has swung back into positive territory after lying in trough for almost three months.<\/p>\n<p>Holdings of metal in the world&#8217;s largest ETPs observed by Reuters soared by 129,120 ounce, or 0.18 percent, by the end of trading day on Monday to a total of 70.259 million ounces.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/silver-price.aspx\">silver prices<\/a> have also edged higher in trading today.
