Silver Shining Brighter This Year
Silver has outperformed it significantly with a higher return of 44.8%, according to Bloomberg data. This superior performance is broadly attributed to silver's dual role, according to Kedia Advisory. Unlike gold, which is primarily seen as a store of value, silver benefits from both investment demand and its widespread use in industries like electronics, solar panels, and medicine.
This industrial demand has given silver an extra edge in a year of global economic recovery and renewed manufacturing activity, making it the brighter performer of the two precious metals.
