Factors affecting silver and gold price
The price of silver and gold is influenced by several crucial factors, including demand and supply, inflation, industrial demand, and the strength of the US dollar, as explained below:
Demand and supply: The balance between supply and demand has a significant impact on silver and gold prices. Any changes in this ratio—whether an increase or decrease in supply or demand—can cause fluctuations in the price of silver and gold.
Inflation: Inflation, which refers to the general rise in prices of goods and services, is directly related to silver and gold prices. When inflation is high, the value of currency starts diminishing, leading people to invest in tangible assets, because its price keep increasing. For instance, when inflation is low, gold and silver prices tend to decrease.
Industrial demand: As countries like India focus more on industrialisation, the demand for gold and silver in sectors like electronics, solar energy, and jewelry increases, and as a repercussion, the silver prices also tend to increase.
Strength of the U.S. Dollar: The U.S. dollar is world’s dominant currency and has a strong influence on the gold and silver prices.
