About Silver (XAG)
Silver is a precious metal traded globally as a commodity. The spot price reflects the current market price for immediate delivery and is quoted in U.S. dollars per troy ounce.
Silver has both investment and industrial uses, including electronics, solar panels, and manufacturing, in addition to jewelry and bullion. This dual role means its price reflects both precious-metal flows and industrial demand.
Silver is commonly followed as a widely traded metal and is often compared with gold because of its mix of monetary and industrial uses. Historical performance can be influenced by industrial demand, inflation expectations, currency movements, and overall risk sentiment, which can make it more volatile than gold.
This calculator shows historical return estimates based on available price data. It does not evaluate whether silver is a good or bad investment.
