What's next for silver prices?

"The additional platform for trading silver in China could well have rekindled investor interest, offering the possibility of arbitrage opportunities..."

Silver spiked to over $35 an ounce in late February, but has since slipped back near $28 an ounce, where it started the year. But the long-term silver prices outlook remains bullish.

On May 10, the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SFE) began trading silver futures and got off to a good start.

As the world's leading silver producer and the second-biggest consumer of the precious metal, expectations are high for the contract not only for China but worldwide.

Market watchers are focused on the upcoming FOMC Meeting on June 19-20, followed by a Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke press conference.
