Silver FAQ: Why price changes

Short answers to common questions, with links back to today, history, and source notes.

FAQ teasers

Why does silver price change every day?

Silver trades in deep global markets almost around the clock, so the spot quote updates as liquidity, macro news, rate expectations, and the dollar move. The number here reflects the latest update on this page, not a single once-a-day “official” close.

Is spot silver the same as jewelry silver?

No. Spot silver reflects wholesale refined metal (commonly quoted in USD per troy ounce). Jewelry prices add making charges, brand premium, purity differences such as sterling versus fine silver, taxes, and retail margins, so tags are usually far above a straight spot conversion.

These explanations combine the latest price updates on this site with selected headlines. No single source should be treated as the sole confirmed cause.
