Stock markets in Asia were generally up as people were finishing the year’s trading. Silver prices hit a record high, but then they dropped a bit. This happened because lots of people were betting on silver and there wasn’t enough of it available.
The U.S. stock market also had a good week, with the S&P 500 reaching a new high. However, the day’s trading was a little slower with small changes in the Dow Jones and Nasdaq indices.
