Silver has a habit of moving quietly and then suddenly commanding attention. This week, it did exactly that. Prices on New York's COMEX pushed to fresh record highs as investors rushed towards traditional safe havens. At the centre of the debate now sits a striking claim from Robert Kiyosaki, the author and investor best known for Rich Dad Poor Dad. He believes silver could rise to $107 an ounce.
The figure is eye-catching. But for such a move to materialise, a series of things would have to go wrong in the global economy and within the silver market itself.
