CURRENCIES COULD INFLUENCE BULLION AGAIN-MONTAGU Currency fluctuations may reassert their influence on the bullion market in the near future, bullion bankers Samuel Montagu and Co Ltd said in a market report. But the firm said silver may lag behind gold in any reactions to movements on foreign exchanges. "OPEC's failure to address the recent decline in oil prices remains a worrying factor however, and on balance it appears that the market should be approached cautiously," Montagu said. The bank said the US economy has shown no noticeable long-term improvement and that both Latin American debt and the Iranian arms affair could undermine confidence in the dollar.
