Silver hits $100 an ounce for the first time in international markets

The price of silver reached $100 in trading Friday, profiting from its safe-haven status amid unrest surrounding the policies of US President Donald Trump. Silver, which has doubled its price in just 3.5 months, reached $100.11 an ounce, also on strong demand for the metal that is used in solar panels and electronics as well as for making jewellery.
