How do I invest in silver?

Individual investors can hold physical silver (coins, bars), physically-backed ETFs, or use futures or CFDs (leveraged, higher-risk products); some gain indirect exposure through shares of silver mining companies.

Why is silver more volatile than gold?

Unlike gold, which is held almost exclusively as a store of value, silver has significant industrial uses (electronics, solar panels, brazing), which makes it sensitive to economic conditions in addition to the same drivers as gold (the dollar, real rates, geopolitical uncertainty) — a narrower market that amplifies price swings in both directions.
