Silver is Emerging From Under Gold's Shadow
Gold surged to an all-time record high of $1,298 an ounce yesterday (Wednesday) after a U.S. Federal Reserve plan to jump-start the American economy triggered a slump in the U.S. dollar.
The yellow metal has now rallied for five straight trading sessions and is up about 18% for the year. Investors are waking up to the fact that the central bank's plan to use U.S. Treasury purchases as a means of injecting another $2.3 trillion into the U.S. economy is only going to further debase the greenback.

Japanese equities struggle in grip of strong yen - London Stock Exchange
Fund managers have been tipping Japan as a recovery play for at least two decades and, apart from a few healthy rallies, there is still little sign of anything long-lasting.
The “miracle economy” of the 1970s and 80s is consigned to the history books and Japan now struggles with deflation, slow growth and higher levels of unemployment than politicians like.
