Silver futures rose to the highest in a month after the U.S. Mint said it sold out of 2013 American Eagle coins and purchases by the biggest exchange-traded fund for the metal reached the highest in five years.
Sales of the coins are suspended and will resume on or about the week of Jan. 28 when inventory is replenished, the mint said yesterday in an e-mailed statement. Holdings in the iShares Silver Trust on Jan. 16 jumped 572 metric tons, or 5.9 percent, the biggest increase since December 2007, according to data on the fund’s website.
