Also on the Comex, silver futures for March delivery inched up 0.02% to $17.697 a troy ounce. There is no longer an expectation of further monetary easing in other major economies," the RBA statement on Tuesday announcing rates on hold at a record low 1.5% said. "The board judged that holding the stance of policy unchanged at this meeting would be consistent with sustainable growth in the economy and achieving the inflation target over time."
