Investing in Silver
With prices bouncing between $4 and $25 per ounce over the course of the last decade, investing in silver can be a bit of a roller-coaster with the metal earning a reputation as one of the most volatile metals to trade.
The silver price tends to follow the price of gold, and to a slightly lesser extent that of copper, but as the market for the grey metal is much thinner than either the gold or the copper market, the link with the other two metals is occasionally broken because of speculation.
The daily pulse of the silver futures market can be taken by looking at the Comex inventories and contract open interest – the total number of outstanding contracts held by futures markets participants at the end of each day. Longer term data such as demand and supply statistics is provided by the Silver Institute, a miners’ association based in Washington.
Silver can also be traded using Spread bets (UK) and Contracts for Difference.
