Over the past two years since silver peaked in late April 2011, we have used the asset as a leading proxy for the euro. Back in 2011, silver broke its parabolic blow-off a few sessions before the euro pivoted down. Today, we believe there presents another example of this dynamic on a much wider timeframe; whereas, silver has led the move in breaking last summers lows - well before the euro.
Keeping this leading nature in mind - and despite silver marginally breaking its April lows, we feel that it is trading more indicative of a base with more upside potential - than an immediate continuation of the downtrend that began last fall.

Remaining within the commodity and currency communities we have had the strongest reads on, the Australian dollar continued its free fall this week - just as the US dollar performed while ushering in the start of the now defunct commodity cycle.
