Silver: Time to reconsider after a 200% rise – HSBC
|HSBC Asset Management highlights a remarkable rise in the price of Silver, which has increased by over 200% year-on-year. This surge has altered the gold/silver ratio significantly, prompting questions about whether it is time to sell Silver as market dynamics shift.
Silver price dynamics shift dramatically
"After a year-on-year rise of more than 200% in the silver price, you may wonder if it’s time to sell the family silver! The rally has flipped the gold/silver ratio (the number of ounces of silver that can be bought with one ounce of gold) from being unusually high in April 2025 to unusually low now, despite gold rising by around a third in that time."
"It’s unlikely that silver has become a new safe-haven asset. What’s more likely is that, as it began to catch up with gold, momentum took over and retail investors joined in, just as industrial demand has been picking up."
