Speculators Polish Up the Price of Silver

``Matthew Turner, analyst at Mitsubishi, the Japanese trading house, says: "There are two drivers for silver: industrial demand and gold. The two drivers are both positive at the moment." Traders and refiners have reported a strong rebound in industrial demand for silver. Solar power, which uses silver-containing chemicals to convert sunlight into electricity, is a source of new demand. Traditional consumers in the electronics industry are also bouncing back strongly, refiners say.''
