Silver ends at two-year high; gold closes lower
6 September 2010 MarketWatch
Silver on Friday settled at its highest price since March 2008, and gold futures came off their two-month high, posting losses as a drop in U.S. payrolls didn't turn out as steep as forecast and thus reduced demand for the precious metal as an investment safe haven.
Silver overcame a weak start of the session to close in on $20 an ounce. Silver drew strength from both from the mild safe-haven buying present on Friday and from its industrial appeal.
