Phil Carr The Gold & Silver Club

Silver prices rose 2% on Friday with China back after being shut for public holidays during Oct. 1 to 8.

Elsewhere gold was headed for a second straight weekly gain, with the metal's appeal as an inflation hedge bolstered by renewed optimism over a new U.S. coronavirus relief package.

Talks resumed between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin over the coronavirus aid plan.

A widening lead for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was also seen as opening the way for a big economic stimulus.

Mirroring the metal's appeal, gold-backed exchange traded funds added more than 1,000 tonnes of bullion worth $60 billion to their stockpile in the first nine months of 2020, the World Gold Council said on Thursday.
