Gold or silver – that is not the question

Israel’s war with Hamas led to strong investor interest in gold and silver in October. Micro gold and silver futures contracts also saw an increase of 24% in October 2023 compared to October 2022. In the micro market, traders and investors who want to rely on lower price fluctuations can buy and sell gold and silver on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). Micro futures are available for many underlying assets, including stock indices, currencies and commodities. If investors want to enter the silver market, in addition to futures, funds and bars or coins, there are also shares that focus on silver and/or gold.

As one of the most precious metals, gold has had an appeal that investors can hardly resist since its beginnings. Silver, on the other hand, with its duality as a precious and industrial metal, provides just as much diversification in a portfolio as gold. It doesn’t hurt to take a look at the price development of precious metals. At the beginning of March, the price of silver briefly fell below USD 20 per ounce, the lowest price so far in 2023. At the beginning of May, it was above USD 26. Silver has tested the USD 28 per ounce mark several times in recent years but was unable to break through.

The future of the silver price, perhaps above USD 30 per ounce or lower again in the wake of a recession, is something that experts cannot agree on. In any case, the onset of easing should boost the price of both gold and silver. Some analysts are talking about USD 3,000 per ounce of gold and USD 50 per ounce of silver. Be that as it may, stocks that combine silver or gold or both should be able to add value to a portfolio.
