Investment silver sometimes grows faster than gold

The price of silver generally moves in accordance with the price of gold. But there are certain exceptions that skilled investors know how to exploit. Namely, as the leader of the sector, the price of gold rises sooner and faster than silver. That is why in the „second wave“ of the rise in the value of precious metals, silver generally gains in value more than gold.

Investing in silver - opportunities and challenges

Investing in silver has its own specifics. One of them concerns monetary policy. Gold is tax-free almost everywhere in the world. But silver has a different tax status in different countries. In Croatia, for example, VAT is paid on silver bars and silver coins. This can be addressed by remote purchases and secured storage in countries that do not charge taxes on silver.

Silver also has a significantly higher use value than gold. As a result, demand for investment silver has less impact on price movements. Of the total silver sales in 2019, almost 60 percent were intended for industrial use.

An additional challenge when buying silver are the relatively higher storage costs. Gold bars have about 80 times less mass than silver bars of the same value. But this price-to-mass ratio on the other hand represents the advantage of silver. Namely, the average ratio of the value of a gram of gold and silver is 1 to 80. Situations when this ratio increases to 90 or 100, represent a clear sign that silver is undervalued. Investors use this as a signal to purchase. An additional advantage of silver is the relatively low price. Therefore, it represents an ideal initial investment for „entry“ into the important precious metals market.
