What Influences Silver Prices?

Silver is similar to gold in its physical value, especially due to the tech sector, and relative stability despite market fluctuations. 


As another “safe-haven” commodity, silver can offer traders a sense of security in their investment. Despite this, it’s still relatively volatile meaning it may offer big returns in bullion markets.


Some factors that influence silver price include:


  • Supply and Demand: See our information on gold above for more details.

  • The Price of Gold: There is a relationship between the two metals and silver price tends to follow that of gold.

  • Industrial Needs: When there is an increase in output of industry production, silver prices will rise. Silver is essential to make things such as: film, LED lights, solar panels, and dental alloys.

  • Other Metals: When there’s high demand for ores, such as copper, silver prices may jump up. Why? Silver is often extracted from other metals. 

  • Speculation: Like many commodities, silver can be used for speculative trading. Confident traders can gain big returns due to silver’s volatility.


Many investors use the gold-silver ratio to bolster their silver portfolios. This is the ratio of 1 oz bars of silver that you can buy for the same price as 1 oz of gold. In recent years it’s stayed between 40 - 80, and investors/traders see the higher ratio as a good time to buy silver.
