Spot silver rebounded as much as 2.3 percent and gold edged up on Thursday after losses in the previous session, supported by light buying in Asia, while a firm dollar weighed on market sentiment. The commodities market took a hit on Wednesday from weak Chinese industrial output data, improving global grain supplies and rising U.S. gasoline stocks.
