Silver

A precious and industrial metal — more volatile than gold, with broader industrial uses.

In depth

Industrial demand (solar panels, electronics, EVs) drives roughly half of consumption. Investment demand (bars, coins, ETFs) drives the rest. Gold-silver ratio (gold price ÷ silver price) is a relative-value indicator.
