Senator Pittman Seeks Silver Policy Push With Rider
Senator Pittman aims to bolster silver policy by proposing a rider to the Nicholson resolution and reportedly backing a substitute bill to expand its reach. He reportedly has support from the agriculture bloc. Smoot passes a Treasury funding measure of 25,000 to cover silver dollar transport to Western banks. Mexico’s gold holdings amid bank failures affect currency, prompting plans to resume coinage of silver pesos. Shanghai silver stocks hover near lows while London attempts price cuts could trigger Chinese demand. Government silver purchases for January reach 2,565,000 ounces, down from December and last year.
