With no changes to any of the iShares models this week, we look at the iShares MSCI Global Silver Miners ETF (SLVP).
There are no changes to any of the iShares models this week. Precious metals priced dropped precipitously last Friday (1/30) with silver falling more than 30%, its largest one-day move as far back as we have data in the NDW system. As precious metals prices dropped, so did producers – the iShares MSCI Global Silver Miners ETF (SLVP) fell to $37.50, down 25% from the all-time it reached in January.
While SLVP saw a dramatic drop, its relative strength picture remains largely intact as the fund still has a strong 5.14 fund score, which is 0.40 points better than the average for all precious metals funds, making this decline a potential buy on pullback opportunity. SLVP reversed up on Tuesday (2/3) establishing support at $37.50; additional support is afforded at $34.50 and $33. Year-to-date (through 2/4) SLVP has gained 18.7% on a price return basis; the fund also carries a 1.6% yield.
