Recently, series of disappointing quarterly results have also underpinned the fact that the U.S. economy has lost its momentum in the second half of 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Weakness in the U.S. economy outlook is likely to prompt the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knowfinance.com\/federal-reserve-system-fed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Federal Reserve<\/a> to prolong its economic stimulating measures. Although Bernanke, in his latest congressional testimony, hinted at possible winding down of $85 billion worth monthly bond purchase program later this year, he also pointed that the bank has left all options opened.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, technical buying was triggered after the metal, having failed to cross $1,300 an ounce in last one and half week, finally managed to break this resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in Asia, the demand for physical gold was subdued on Monday. However, dealers in Hong Kong said that gold coins and bars are in tight supply.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/silver\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"silver price today\">Silver<\/a> futures were last up 2.52% to $19.95 an ounce.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/movers\/premarket\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Premarket Movers\">pre-market trading<\/a>, the iShares Silver Trust (ETF) (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock.aspx?stock=SLV\">NYSE: SLV<\/a>) was up 2.01%, and the ProShares Ultra Silver (ETF) (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock.aspx?stock=AGQ\">NYSE: AGQ<\/a>) was up 4.34%.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nr_popular_placeholder\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/gold-prices-rally-as-dollar-eases-silver-prices-also-rise-sharply\/46077\" data-title=\"Gold Prices Rally as Dollar Eases; Silver Prices also Rise Sharply\"><\/div>\n<p><script id=\"mNCC\" language=\"javascript\">  medianet_width='600';  medianet_height= '250';  medianet_crid='814932888';  <\/script>  <script id=\"mNSC\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130725030610js_\/http:\/\/contextual.media.net\/nmedianet.js?cid=8CUT71M67\" language=\"javascript\"><\/script> <\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n<div class=\"addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style\">\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_1\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_2\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_3\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_4\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_compact\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var addthis_config = {\"data_track_addressbar\":true};<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/250\/addthis_widget.js#pubid=pennystocksfinder\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n<p>More Posts by this author<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-end-on-a-mixed-note-68\/46158\"><br \/>\nStocks End on a Mixed Note<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/gold-prices-fall-sharply-silver-prices-also-tumble-14\/46157\"><br \/>\nGold Prices Fall Sharply; Silver Prices also Tumble<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-reverse-initial-gains-turn-lower-in-mid-day-trading\/46155\"><br \/>\nStocks Reverse Initial Gains; Turn Lower in Mid-Day Trading<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-gain-in-early-trading-29\/46152\"><br \/>\nStocks Gain in Early Trading<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/forex-market-update-euro-gains-against-dollar-after-pmi-data\/46149\"><br \/>\nForex Market Update: Euro Gains Against Dollar After PMI Data<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/gold-futures-edge-higher-silver-futures-also-gain\/46146\"><br \/>\nGold Futures Edge Higher; Silver Futures Also Gain<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stock-futures-gain-6\/46142\"><br \/>\nStock Futures Gain<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130725030610im_\/http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/userphoto\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
