Unlike gold, silver is not such a popular instrument to hedge against the inflation or to make the long-term investments. The global demand for silver is rather low, but nevertheless it becomes more and more popular among the commodity speculators. Silver production, financial news and the demand updates affect the spot and the futures prices for silver.
Among the news that usually get featured in the silver prices category of the Commodity Blog are:
- Production decrease/increase, including the mining and refining.
- Demand news on silver, that include major funds’ investment, hedging and jewelry industry news.
- Technical analysis of the silver prices based on the chart levels.
- Global financial situation that influence the demand for all commodities.
