Market Insights

What Moves the Silver Price?

Silver trades as both a precious metal and an industrial metal. Key drivers include:

  • Industrial Demand: Electronics, solar PV, EVs, and medical uses influence consumption.
  • US Dollar & Rates: A stronger USD and higher real yields tend to pressure silver.
  • Gold–Silver Ratio: Relative value versus gold can attract mean-reversion flows.
  • Investor Flows: ETF inflows/outflows and futures positioning can amplify moves.
  • Mine Supply & Recycling: Output, by-product dynamics, and scrap recovery matter.
  • Macro & Geopolitics: Growth outlook, inflation trends, and risk appetite shift demand.

Silver Price FAQ

What is the silver spot price?

It’s the current price for immediate delivery of one troy ounce of silver, discovered via COMEX futures and the global OTC market. Retail products are priced at a premium above spot to cover minting and logistics.

Why can’t I buy silver at spot?

Spot reflects wholesale trading in large bars. Coins and small bars include fabrication costs, logistics, and dealer margins, which show up as a premium over spot.

What’s the difference between spot and futures?

Spot is for immediate settlement; futures are contracts for later delivery. Futures can trade at a premium (contango) or discount (backwardation) vs spot depending on storage and market tightness.

What affects the gold–silver ratio?

Relative macro conditions, mine supply, investor flows, and industrial demand can widen or narrow the ratio. Traders sometimes use extreme readings as mean-reversion signals.

Is silver taxed?

Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction and product type. In the US, physical silver is generally treated as a collectible. Consult a qualified tax professional for your situation.
