Silver’s Volatility Compared to Gold
Silver is about 3.2 times more volatile than gold and reacts sharply to demand and speculation.
Silver reacts faster and more aggressively to demand shifts than gold. Silver’s daily price volatility in 2026 is roughly 3.2 times higher than gold’s.

Investors must tolerate amplified short-term price swings compared to gold holdings.
