Silver (XAG)
A precious metal with a strong industrial side.
XAG Live priceWhat is Silver
Silver is both a precious metal and an industrial one. Like gold, it is bought as a store of value, but roughly half its demand comes from industry.
It is used in solar panels, electronics and many manufactured goods, so its price reacts both to investment demand and to the health of the economy.
Silver often follows gold but tends to move more sharply in both directions, which is why traders call it a higher-beta version of gold.
