What moves the price of silver?
- Industry. More than half of silver demand comes from industry: solar panels, electronics, batteries and medical uses. Factory activity matters for silver far more than for gold.
- Gold. Silver usually moves in the same direction as gold, but with bigger swings both ways.
- Interest rates and the dollar. Like gold, silver tends to rise when rates and the US dollar fall.
- Supply. Most silver is mined as a by-product of copper, lead and zinc, so supply does not react quickly to price.
The gold/silver ratio
The ratio divides the gold price by the silver price. Today one ounce of gold buys about 78 ounces of silver. Over recent decades the ratio has mostly moved between about 40 and 100. Some investors watch it to judge whether silver looks cheap or expensive compared with gold; it says nothing certain about what comes next.
Fine, sterling and coin silver
Fine silver is 99.9% pure and is used for bullion bars and many coins. Sterling silver (92.5%) is the standard for jewellery and cutlery, because pure silver is too soft. Older coins were often 90% silver. The table above shows what the silver content alone is worth.
