Ukraine is looking extremely volatile and the markets will no doubt reflect this.

My guess is that if Ukraine remains calm and there is no adverse economic data, silver is likely to drop to and hover at about £11.10/oz next week but I doubt it will go below that near term. I think it was on course for that before and only a sudden spike of buying kept the price up.

Below spot, so a good find

Spot has jumped up this morning with silver and gold recovering much of this week's earlier losses. I'd have expected both to have held their overnight prices at best and probably continued sliding into the weekend unless enough investors have decided to go bargain hunting. 

Afternoon edit: Ukraine kicking off again. Safe-haven buying has been used before as the reason for price rallies but once this blows over what's the likelihood that all other fundamentals point to a downward correction?

Sub £11/oz is a very real possibility. If I ordered some coins right now I bet we would see £10.xx before the end of the day 

You need to get yourself a lunar series 2, they are bigger and beautiful.

Very tempting. This is going to kill my average £/oz ratio 

So, just got my first Perth Mint coin today - and it's nothing really special, only a Koala (so not worth a photo), but I can see why the PM stuff is so well regarded on here. Exceptionally good finish and a really beautiful coin. Very tempted to get myself a Kook. God help me but I think I might end up... collecting this stuff   

Noticed very sharp drops in silver and gold this morning at almost exactly the same time, followed by a rapid increase shortly afterwards. What was all that about? 

As a reknowned penny-pincher, I still get upset about missing a dip, however I just have to remind myself I have bought at considerably higher than the current price (£11.73) before, and so I'm still getting a reasonable deal if i buy now. Miffed simply because as the price hit a low today I was so busy at work I hadn't got time to put an order in, and by the time I'd cleared my workload, whoosh! The price had hiked back up again.
