Silver Market

⚡ Live Spot

$66.3770/oz

XAG/USD (Spot) ℹ

gold-api.com · real-time

The benchmark international silver spot price in USD per troy oz. Drives pricing on all exchanges globally. A rising spot signals bullish demand or USD weakness.

$66.2425 / $66.3075

Bid / Ask ℹ

Swissquote · spread $0.0650

The tightest price a dealer will buy (bid) and sell (ask) silver. The spread indicates market liquidity — a tight spread means high liquidity and low transaction cost. Wide spreads signal thin markets or uncertainty.

$4379.00/oz

XAU/USD (Gold) ℹ

gold-api.com · real-time

Gold spot price. Key context for silver — the two metals are closely correlated. Gold often leads silver moves. Watch for divergence as a signal.

65.97

Gold / Silver Ratio ℹ

>80 = silver historically cheap

How many oz of silver to buy 1 oz of gold. Historically averages ~60. Above 80: silver is historically undervalued vs gold. Below 50: silver is expensive vs gold. A falling ratio is typical in late bull markets.

🀄 Shanghai / Asia

¥443.22/oz

XAG/CNY ℹ

≈ ¥14.2498/g (SGE unit)

Silver price in Chinese Yuan per troy oz. China is the world's largest silver consumer. CNY strength or weakness relative to USD affects Chinese buying power and demand.

¥14.2498/g

SGE AG(T+D) proxy ℹ

Spot x CNY rate · SGE direct blocked

Proxy for the Shanghai Gold Exchange AG(T+D) deferred spot contract — the world's most liquid physical silver contract. SGE premiums above international spot signal strong Chinese physical demand.

¥10,375/oz

XAG/JPY ℹ

Tokyo Commodity Exchange proxy

Silver in Japanese Yen. Japan's TOCOM is a key Asian market. A rising XAG/JPY reflects silver strength and/or Yen weakness. BoJ policy moves create significant XAG/JPY volatility.

€57.5010/oz

XAG/EUR ℹ

Silver in Euros. Relevant for European industrial buyers. EUR/USD moves can diverge from USD spot — European buyers may see different effective prices. ECB policy is a key driver.

🏛️ COMEX Futures

$66.7850/oz

SI=F Front Month ℹ

yfinance approx 15min delay

COMEX silver futures front-month (5,000 oz per contract). Primary global price-discovery mechanism. Backwardation (futures below spot) is a bullish signal of tight physical supply.

425.7M oz

COMEX Open Interest ℹ

85,140 contracts · 5,000 oz each

Total open COMEX silver futures contracts. Rising OI + rising price = new longs = bull signal. Rising OI + falling price = new shorts = bearish. High OI vs vault stocks can signal squeeze risk.

🏦 ETF Holdings

0.0M oz

SLV Silver Held ℹ

iShares · $34.7B AUM

Total silver held by iShares SLV — world's largest silver ETF. Rising holdings = institutional demand growing. Falling = investors exiting. Strong leading indicator of Western sentiment.

$59.93 / $58.48

SLV Price / NAV ℹ

Premium/discount to NAV

SLV price vs Net Asset Value per share. A premium signals buying pressure exceeding physical inflows — very strong demand. A discount signals selling pressure. Normally very tight.

16.6M shares

SLV Avg Daily Volume ℹ

3-month average

Average daily SLV volume. Spikes in volume confirm price moves. A breakout on high volume is more reliable than a low-volume move.

Spot: gold-api.com + Swissquote (real-time). Currencies: fawazahmed0 (daily). ETF/futures: Yahoo Finance (approx 15min). SGE/SHFE APIs geo-blocked; CNY rate used as proxy. Refreshed hourly.

🤖 Silver broke to new 52-week highs at $79.41, but RSI at 26.9 and bearish MACD signal fragile momentum. Eighth straight supply deficit and all-time low inventories support the long-term case; near-term, geopolitical spikes can reverse sharply.

SLV $59.91 -0.12% RSI 72 SMA20 $59.70 SMA50 $58.68 MACD ▼ Bear 52w $56.59–$60.37 Au/Ag 66.0

⛏️ Annual Supply — Silver Institute 2023

820.8M oz

Mine Production ℹ

2023

Total silver mined globally in 2023. Mexico, Peru and China are top producers. Mine supply is inelastic — it takes years to open new mines. A shortage cannot be quickly fixed, making price spikes more extreme.

183.6M oz

Recycling ℹ

Silver recovered from industrial scrap, photography, and jewellery. Recycling increases when prices rise. Acts as a partial buffer but cannot replace mine supply shortfalls.

1,004.3M oz

Total Supply ℹ

Mine production + recycling + net hedging. Supply has grown slowly while demand has accelerated — the resulting structural deficit is a core long-term bullish argument for silver.

MX · PE · CN

Top Producers ℹ

Mexico · Peru · China

Mexico, Peru and China account for ~50% of global mine supply. Political instability or labour disputes in these countries can rapidly tighten supply and spike prices.

🏭 Annual Demand — Silver Institute 2023

654.4M oz

Industrial ℹ

EVs · solar · electronics

The largest demand category at 56% of total. Silver is irreplaceable in solar panels, EVs, 5G electronics, and medical devices. This demand is structural and growing — it does not retreat in bear markets.

243.0M oz

Physical Investment ℹ

Coins & bars

Retail and institutional demand for coins and bars. Surges during inflation fears, dollar weakness, or geopolitical crisis. US Mint and Royal Mint sell-outs are strong sentiment indicators.

182.0M oz

Jewellery ℹ

Mainly India and China. India is the world's largest silver jewellery market — INR/USD and Indian import duties directly impact this figure. Less price-sensitive than investment demand.

52.1M oz

Silverware ℹ

Traditional silverware demand. Relatively stable; primarily driven by India and China gifting and ceremonial use.

📊 Supply / Demand Balance — Silver Institute 2023

1,167.8M oz

Total Demand ℹ

2023

All demand categories combined. Demand has grown rapidly driven by industrial use, while supply has lagged — creating a structural deficit for three consecutive years.

−163.5M oz

Physical Deficit ℹ

3rd consecutive year

Total demand exceeds total supply by 163.5 Moz — above-ground stocks are being drawn down. Sustained deficits are structurally bullish: prices must eventually rise to ration demand or incentivise new supply.

~2,600M oz

Above-ground Stocks ℹ

Est. identifiable

Total estimated identifiable above-ground silver stocks (ETFs, COMEX vaults, institutional). At current deficit rates, stocks could tighten meaningfully within years — a key long-term price catalyst.

Structural Deficit

Implied Balance ℹ

Multi-year trend

The market has been in structural deficit since 2021. Unlike gold, silver lacks large central bank reserves to cushion shortfalls — making it more sensitive to supply shocks.

Annual data: Silver Institute World Silver Survey 2024 (2023 figures). Updated annually.
