Silver price FAQ
How is the price of silver determined?
Silver is one of the most sought-after naturally occurring precious metals, along with gold, platinum, iridium, rhodium and palladium.
Supply and demand have the most influence on the price of silver, though economic changes such as inflation and shifts in the value of paper currencies also have an impact.
Its uses in jewelry, decoration and medical applications, and its physical characteristics of ductility, malleability and high conductivity, all contribute to its value. Silver is an essential material for industrial machinery and equipment, so it is highly sought after in manufacturing.
Why do people buy silver?
Silver has been treasured for centuries for its beauty, and today many people buy it to diversify in a volatile economy. It is the most affordable of the precious metals, and it is easily converted to cash anywhere in the world.
Silver is offered as bullion bars, coins and rounds, it can be stored securely, and its price is widely quoted. Whichever form you choose, buy from a reputable dealer.
There are other ways to get exposure to silver: futures contracts, silver certificates, mutual funds and mining stocks. None of them gives you physical silver.
Whether it suits your own situation is a decision for you or a financial professional.
Are silver spot prices the same everywhere?
Silver spot prices are the same no matter where you are: traders close any gap between markets, which allows an arbitrage-free silver market to exist.
Local prices differ only by currency conversion, taxes and dealer premiums.
What is the gold/silver ratio?
The gold/silver ratio compares the worth of silver with gold: it is the number of ounces of silver needed to buy one ounce of gold.
It moves as the prices of both metals change over time, and it shows when one metal looks expensive compared with the other. In short, it measures the buying power of silver against gold.
What are bid and ask prices?
When buying silver from a dealer, the "ask" is the price the buyer pays. When you sell silver you already own to a dealer, you receive the "bid". The difference between the two is the "spread", or bid-ask spread.
Why can't I buy at the silver spot price?
Manufacturers mark up the price of silver when they sell it to dealers, and dealers add their own costs and a dealer fee when they sell it on. That is why buying silver at spot is extremely unlikely.
Bullion Hunters compares those premiums across dealers, so you can see who charges what over spot for the same product.
What is the difference between an ounce and a troy ounce?
An ounce is the unit of weight in the US customary system, while a troy ounce belongs to the troy system, used mainly for weighing precious metals.
The difference is only about 3 grams: an ordinary ounce is around 28.349 grams, while a troy ounce is about 31.103 grams.
Why does the price of silver change so frequently?
Numerous factors affect the price of silver, such as turmoil in the news, the strength of different currencies, the availability of the metal, the purchasing power of consumers and market speculation. The chart above shows those moves over any range from a day to five years.
What moves the silver price?
Industrial demand
Electronics, machinery, medical uses and jewelry consume silver, so manufacturing activity feeds into its price.
Inflation and currencies
Silver is priced in dollars; inflation and changes in the value of paper currencies move it.
Supply of metal
Mine output and recycling set how much silver reaches the market, and neither responds quickly to its price.
News and speculation
Turmoil in the news and futures positioning can swing silver quickly in both directions.
