Silver climbed 0.9% to $17.66 on Thursday as a surge in the number of new coronavirus cases in China dashed hopes that the epidemic was slowing and drove investors to safe-haven assets.
The gold to silver ratio subsequently dropped 0.5% to 89.10 indicating silver to outperform gold in the short term.
Hubei reported 242 new deaths and confirmed 14,840 new cases as of Wednesday, a dramatic rise from the 2,015 new cases a day earlier.
This is the fastest rise in the daily death count since the outbreak, investors are now looking for any information regarding the economic impact of the epidemic.
