While gold has taken center stage with returns of 27.5% in 2024, silver presents a compelling investment opportunity that’s often overlooked.
Currently trading around $32 per ounce (33% below its 2011 peak), silver shows significant growth potential with the gold-silver ratio at 91.6—well above the 80 threshold that typically signals silver is undervalued.
Industrial demand for silver rose to 1.21 billion ounces in 2024 (up 7%), driven by green energy applications, electric vehicles, and AI technology.
Despite potential policy shifts under Trump’s administration, global clean energy investments remain strong in regions like China and Europe, suggesting continued demand for this precious metal that has already delivered a 20.3% price return from January 2023 to December 2024.
