"Spot silver was bid at a high of $38.23/oz."
Silver prices rose to their highest since early 1980 in Europe on Monday, tracking gains in gold as weakness in the dollar and higher oil prices supported interest in precious metals.

Spot silver was bid at a high of $38.23 an ounce at 0756 GMT, against $37.74 late in New York on Friday.
