How silver is traded, from stocks and shares to coins and bars
Silver prices surged past $75 an ounce, driven by industrial demand, supply shortfalls, and its designation as a U.S. critical mineral. Silver trading occurs over-the-counter in London, on futures exchanges like COMEX, through ETFs such as iShares Silver Trust, and via physical bars and coins. Investors can also trade shares in silver mining companies. The market dynamics include bilateral OTC trading, futures contracts, and ETF share trading, with each method offering unique advantages for investors.
