Silver: the metal the modern world runs on

Silver is the only precious metal that is also an industrial raw material at scale. Gold is bought to be held; roughly half of all silver is bought to be used — in solar panels, electronics, electric vehicles and medical products — and used up in the process. That dual identity is what makes the international silver price behave differently from gold: it answers to investors and to factories at the same time, and when both pull in the same direction, silver moves further and faster than gold in either direction.

The price on this page is the wholesale spot price — the price for immediate delivery of one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver, quoted in US dollars as XAG/USD. It is set continuously by trading in London’s over-the-counter market and on New York’s COMEX futures exchange, and benchmarked once a day by the LBMA Silver Price auction at noon London time. Silver trades on the same hours as gold: Sunday 6:00 PM ET through Friday 5:00 PM ET, with a one-hour daily break. The strip above polls the live price every 60 seconds while the market is open and shows the last close, clearly labelled, when it is shut.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the international silver price today?

The international silver price is the wholesale spot price for one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver, quoted in US dollars as XAG/USD. It ticks continuously while the metals market is open (Sunday 6:00 PM ET through Friday 5:00 PM ET) and rests at the last close over the weekend.

How is the silver price per gram calculated?

Divide the silver spot price per troy ounce by 31.1034768 — the exact number of grams in one troy ounce. The result is the wholesale price of one gram of 99.9% pure silver before dealer premiums and taxes.

Why is silver cheaper than gold?

Mostly supply: roughly 25,000 tonnes of silver are mined each year against about 3,300 tonnes of gold (USGS 2024), and much of the silver is consumed by industry rather than hoarded. The price gap is expressed in the gold-to-silver ratio on this page.

Where can I check the silver price in my country?

The silver price by country hub lists local silver rates per gram, tola and ounce in 50+ countries, converted from the same international spot price. From there, each country page shows the local rate in its own currency and units.
