The live silver price is known as the silver spot price. It is taken from the futures market. It is the benchmark price on which all retail investment silver products are based. The silver price is traditionally quoted in troy ounces.
GoldCore quotes a live silver spot price per ounce in the United Kingdom, with silver coins and bars available for immediate delivery or storage. The current spot price for an ounce of silver is quoted at the top of this page. This is the pound sterling price per ounce. Whilst silver is traded on the international markets in US dollars, this price has been converted using the exchange rate between the pound sterling and the US dollar. This has been done for the convenience of UK investors who want to buy and sell silver coins and silver bars using their British currency.
Silver trades 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday. It is traded across the globe and is one of the largest markets by volume. The silver price is constantly changing. The price is reflective of the equilibrium between supply and demand for both physical silver and silver derivatives.
Silver is often a co-product during the mining of other metals, such as copper. Silver has a larger supply volume than gold, but it is increasingly hard to extract. Whilst mining still accounts for a large proportion of supply, the amount sourced from recycling is also significant. How much is mined and how much is recycled can fluctuate depending on economic outlook, energy costs, and reclamation values.
It is also worth noting that often it can be uneconomical to extract and recycle small amounts of silver from technological items such as mobile phones, so very often it is not recycled. This increases the pressure on primary mine supply.
When it comes to demand, silver is the most versatile of the precious metals given its prominent role in both the investment and industrial spheres. It is both a commodity and a monetary metal.
Silver has been referred to as the 'indispensable metal' so far is its reach across industry. It is extremely malleable, ductile and is the most conductive of the metals. This means it lends itself well to a number of industrial uses including telecommunications, medical and energy technologies.
Because over 50% of silver demand is from industry (rather than for investment purposes) its price can be far more affected by economic factors than gold. Whilst many industries that have long used silver have disappeared, they are continuing to be replaced by new ones who sustain (if not increase) demand for silver. For example, the use of silver in photography is declining however the health and solar energy sectors are more than making up for this.
Demand is also driven by investor demand for physical bars and coins, as well as silver-backed ETFs. Investors like to invest in it due to its dual-role as a monetary and industrial metal, meaning it has place in both times of economic growth and decline.
Investors choose to own silver as it acts as a hedge against inflation and uncertainties such geo-political, systemic and monetary risks. It is a store of value and has preserved its purchasing power over long periods of time.

The price of silver is quoted in troy ounces.
Troy ounces are often abbreviated to "T.Oz." or just "Oz." A troy ounce is different to a standard (avoirdupois) ounce, as they are slightly heavier. 1 troy ounce = 31.1 grams, whereas one standard ounce = 28.35 grams.
Silver is priced and traded internationally in US dollars. It is the US dollar price of silver that is referenced in the financial media.

It is the front month futures contract with the most volume that tends to determine the spot price of silver today. Generally the nearest contract has the least volume as it is closest to expiring and so positions may have already been rolled.

Silver products are often purchased by retail silver investors in gram format. While one-gram silver bars or ingots are available through some precious metals brokers, the most popular gram format silver bars are 100g silver bars, 250g silver bars, 500g silver bars and one-kilogram silver bars (1,000g).
When purchasing a bar that is measured in grams, it is necessary to know the silver price per gram. As silver is priced in troy ounces and a troy ounce is equal to 31.1 grams, to determine the silver price per gram, we divide the troy ounce price by 31.1.

There is never an ideal price to buy silver. The silver price represents underlying influences in the silver market which includes investor sentiment and confidence in the economy as well as supply and demand dynamics.
Silver is both a monetary and industrial metal which significantly affects its performance and outlook. It acts as a store of value and a hedge against uncertainty, but it is also used in industry and technology and so can be sensitive to economic changes.
When considering the silver price, investors should focus on the silver market such as the metal's rarity and limited production, but also the outlook for the global economy given how tightly connected it is to both industrial and technological demand.
