Global silver Price Trend, Analysis and Forecast​

Q1 2025 
The upward trend in silver continued in Q1 2025, with prices increasing by 2.66% to reach $32.45 per ounce (Spot price weekly closing). Ongoing global economic instability, geopolitical risks, and steady industrial demand contributed to the positive momentum. Institutional and retail investors alike maintained their interest in silver, seeking diversification and inflation protection. Despite periodic corrections due to market volatility and shifting yields, silver remained resilient and continued to benefit from its hybrid role in investment and industry. 

Q4 2024 
Silver prices advanced 5.20% in Q4 2024, closing the year at $31.61 per ounce (Spot price weekly closing). Renewed investor interest and seasonal demand—especially from markets like India—played a significant role in supporting prices. Continued concerns over geopolitical instability and fluctuating economic data sustained silver’s safe-haven appeal. Industrial consumption remained strong, particularly in solar and electronics applications, offsetting the impact of profit-booking and monetary policy uncertainty. 

Q3 2024 
Despite facing headwinds from a strengthening dollar and rising bond yields, silver prices edged up 2.53% in Q3 2024 to $30.05 per ounce (Spot price weekly closing). The momentum slowed compared to the previous quarter due to improving macroeconomic indicators and a shift toward higher-risk assets. However, sustained demand from emerging markets and industrial users helped maintain positive price action. The market also saw support from investors viewing silver as a lower-cost alternative to gold in times of uncertainty. 

Q2 2024 
Silver experienced a significant rally in Q2 2024, to $29.30 per ounce (Spot price weekly closing). The surge was driven by robust industrial demand, particularly from the renewable energy and electronics sectors. Growing investor confidence, central bank buying, and a weakening US dollar added further upward momentum. As economic uncertainty persisted, silver’s appeal as a hedge against inflation and market volatility gained traction. Profit-taking led to brief pullbacks, but overall sentiment remained strongly bullish. 

Q1 2024 
In Q1 2024, silver prices saw a modest increase of 0.30%, rising from $23.70 to $23.77 per ounce (Spot price weekly closing). The metal’s movement lagged behind gold, reflecting investor hesitation amid mixed economic signals and relatively subdued industrial demand. While inflationary concerns and global uncertainties supported precious metal sentiment, silver’s dual role as both an investment and industrial commodity kept its gains limited. Fluctuating interest rates and a stronger US dollar also contributed to the restrained performance.
