Silver Futures Futures

This precious metal is closely aligned to gold. And because the much larger gold market is a key driver in silver prices, it can be used as an economic hedge. But what is often overlooked is that 50 percent of silver consumption comes from industries such as computer manufacturing, medical equipment, photography and of course jewelry.
So silver can be used as protection against potential negative impacts on companies which use a lot of the precious metal, but it can also be traded as a more aggressive metals trading strategy. This deep and liquid global benchmark contract on CME also offers investors a full and mini-silver contract that is deliverable to several depositories.
