Silver is both a precious metal and an industrial one, quoted per troy ounce in US dollars. That dual role makes the silver price more volatile than gold: it responds to safe-haven and inflation demand like gold, but also to industrial cycles, especially solar panels, electronics, and electric vehicles, which consume large amounts of physical silver. The closely watched gold-to-silver ratio tells investors how cheap or expensive silver looks against gold. The price on this page is the live USD-per-ounce spot rate from the same feed Coinvertor uses to convert metals in the app.
