Treasury Repeats Silver Price Cut
In Washington on June 29 the treasury lowered its foreign silver price from 40 to 34 1 2 cents per ounce. The move, the second in as many days, follows a treasury policy shift after the Senate voted to bar further foreign silver purchases. The change comes as a mirror to the 77.57 cents per ounce price for domestically mined silver set by the Senate. Officials gave no formal reasons but said the cuts aim to avoid dumping foreign silver before final policy is set. The prior drop from 43 to 40 cents on Monday marked the first price change since March 1938.
