What moves the price of silver?
Silver is both a precious metal and an industrial metal. Investment demand responds to interest rates, the US dollar and inflation expectations, much like gold. Industrial demand – electronics, solar panels and other manufacturing – makes up a large share of total use, so silver also reacts to the economic outlook. That mix tends to make silver more volatile than gold.
Prices are quoted per troy ounce (31.1035 grams), not the ordinary ounce used for food (28.35 grams).
