Silver Falls in Tuesday's Trading, Check Out the Details!
Silver prices (XAG/USD) weakened on Tuesday (April 21st), with XAG/USD falling 1.10% to US$78.85 per troy ounce, according to FXStreet data. This decline occurred after silver closed at US$79.73 on Monday.
Despite the daily correction, silver's performance throughout the year remains positive. FXStreet noted that silver prices have risen 10.93% since the start of the year, reflecting a sustained upward trend despite increased short-term volatility.
Silver's movement is also reflected in the gold/silver ratio, an indicator that shows how many ounces of silver are needed to equal the value of one ounce of gold. On Tuesday, the ratio rose to 60.66 from 60.46 on Monday.
The increase in the ratio indicates that silver was relatively weaker than gold that day. Investors generally monitor this ratio to gauge changes in market preference between more defensive precious metal assets (gold) and more cyclically sensitive ones (silver). (gn)
