Silver Prices Dip on EU Woes. Silver Stocks to Watch: SLW, HL, PAAS, EXK, AGQ, SLV, SVM, CDE

Gold and silverEuropean woes returned to the market today as leaders convene for a summit on the burgeoning Greek debt crisis. While promising to do all they can to keep Greece within the union, the uncertainty is causing headaches across the market.

Silver prices, along with gold, are taking sizable hits from the lack of a clear path for Greece. Once the EU stops flailing around and provides a clear path for Greece, most analysts expect the metals to start recovering some of their steep losses.

Currently the silver spot price is down over 80 cents.
