TRADING GLOSSARY
Silver
Silver is a precious metal with both investment demand and extensive industrial uses, including electronics and solar technology. Its price reflects manufacturing conditions, mine supply, recycling and investor sentiment, so it can behave differently from gold.
EXAMPLE
In a hypothetical manufacturing slowdown, weaker industrial demand weighs on silver prices even as investment demand for precious metals remains steady.
