Silver is a precious metal that has been used throughout history as an investment, a currency and a store of value. Since the 1990s, the demand for silver grew faster than production rates, thus the inventory dropped - turning silver insufficient for the demand (compared to gold, as an example, due to reverse above-the-ground supply ratio). This page contains detailed financial information on silver, live price charts, forecasts, technical analysis, news, opinions, reports, user discussions and sentiments.
