Factors Affecting Silver Price
Silver has a dual role: it acts as a safe haven asset similar to gold, while also serving as an industrial metal for solar panels and electronics. Therefore its price is influenced by economic uncertainty, interest rate directions, solar energy demand, and the gold-silver price ratio.
What is Silver and Why is its Price Monitored?
Silver is a globally traded precious metal that typically moves in correlation with gold. Beyond jewellery and investment uses, industrial demand for silver is growing alongside the expansion of solar energy and electronics sectors.
Why Does Silver Price Rise Or Fall Each Day?
Daily silver prices are driven by gold price movements, US Federal Reserve interest rate outlook, US Dollar strength, and industrial demand such as for solar panels. Over the past 30 days, silver price has followed an overall upward trend.
Pure silver is currently subject to 12% VAT, unlike gold bullion which is exempt from this tax. As reported by Katadata "this differing tax treatment makes the silver industry less competitive compared to gold bullion."
Global silver prices have recorded significant gains throughout this year. As reported by Katadata "global silver price has now jumped 74.31% year to date (ytd)". PT Antam has also begun ramping up development for this commodity business.
