The price of silver is at a 9 month high.  But, what caused this rally?

I think that the biggest reason for silver and gold prices going up is the weekness in the US Dollar.  The US Dollar declined rapidly this week and when this happens, investors look for ways to move money out of a declining Dollar and into commodities offering more price stability.

We will have to see whether the silver bullion prices continue to rally this week or whether people sell off their silver positions.
