Will These Silver Stocks Go Up?
The market for silver stocks has been quite an interesting one to watch in the market in recent times. The pandemic caused silver assets to skyrocket in price throughout the last year and a half. The percentage gains for many silver assets were higher than gold stocks. This brought a lot of new investors to the metal that may have overlooked it before. One other recent event also brought a lot of new people to silver investing. You have certainly heard of the GameStop situation where Reddit traders boosted the price of the stock.
Well in early February the same thing happened to silver prices as a result of retail traders according to the mainstream media. But Reddit traders quickly stated that it was not their doing. This caused the price of the metal to pull back. What this did do, was attract a lot of new eyes and investors to silver related assets. The price of silver has been able to remain relatively stable at the moment.
So what else is affecting silver prices? Jobless reports often affect the price of silver and gold. It will be interesting to see the effect that unemployment and the economy has on the metal in the future.
