Why is the Price of Silver Bullion so Volatile?

Since the advent of civilization and especially the development of trade, precious metals have been indispensable in the lives of people. Initially, precious stones and metals, like silver bullion, were merely possessions that represented one’s stature in society. Today they have evolved to the point where they are also considered investment tools used to secure the economic stability of individuals and nations. Silver, however, has a dubious position among precious metals. In fact, the question many budding investors tend to ask is what makes silver less desirable than gold as an investment tool? The answer could be related to the volatile price of silver.

The Instability of Silver 

Silver bullion has developed a notorious reputation for being unpredictable and volatile (comprising of significant rises and plunges in value), two features that scare potential investors away. But why is this so? And if we are able to understand and control those issues, could the value silver bullion stabilize or even increase steadily? Many trading gurus are indicating that with an understanding of these factors and shrewd, well-timed investment moves, savvy investors could tap into potential earnings from silver 

One of the reasons, the silver market has been unpredictable is largely because it is a wider market comprising a wider variety of holders and other players than others. Gold, for example, has a large number of stakeholders (mainly jewelers) in China and India but the concentration makes it possible to view these players on a country by country basis. This isn’t possible with silver because its users include far too many players with great diversity.

An Examination of The Market

Currently, the state of gold and the economics of Europe are the two main factors affecting the state of silver in the global market. There is also a different perception of silver as compared to gold. People value silver less than they do gold. This is why many big players, such as banks, gravitate towards gold instead of silver purchases and individuals are more likely to recycle their gold pieces than their silver ones. 

A Ray of Hope For Silver

But despite all the instability, silver remains a smart investment option since, among other things, it diversifies your investment portfolio (much in the same was stocks and bonds do). Additionally, silver, like gold, has developed a relationship for being preferable to currency in terms of stability (some currencies have become essentially worthless but the finite volume of silver and gold coupled with their innate value means they will always hold some value).

While changes in gold and silver have never been equivalent, there is an undeniable relationship in that whenever gold increases silver can be expected to increase as well. This increase has never been predictable though, with the only certainty being that it doesn’t increase to the point that the value of silver equates to the value of gold. 

Some economists observing the trend in US politics and economics have noted indicators that may work in the favour of silver investors in the future. Much of this observation is linked to the US President’s method of dealing with trade partners. This method includes a constant rise and fall type scenario involving the application of strong-arm tactics followed by a retreat and the olive branch of compromises. This could turn the US dollar into an unstable option for investors, many of whom have, up to this point, been opting for the US dollar instead of silver. Colonial Acres is the best partner for your silver bullion trading and investment activities. We provide you with high-quality authentic silver pieces that you can add to your collection. Each silver coin purchased is an investment with the potential to maximize your returns in the future.
