Howdy all
After the recent silver post I had an urge to just take a proper look at just how silver has perfomred in the last year.
This time last year the spot value of 1oz of fine silver was valued at £25.56.
Today the spot value of 1oz of fine silver is valued at £65.02.
The £39.47 price difference in a year is a beautiful sight to see
A small 154.52% increase 😐
A year low of £22.15 in 2025 was a reasonable difference in value considering the steady value increase over the past few years.
Then a year high of £88.15 in 2026 which was a huge run and a very exciting time for us stackers, but a terrible time as a buyer 😅
Now when we compare the Gold price in the same time period, that paints a different and more visible image to the general public
The gold spot value this time last year was £2244.38 for 1oz of gold.
Today it sits at the lofty value of £3866.50.
That is a big difference on paper, £1622.12 is a very tidy profit number if you bought last year and sold today.
The part I am more focused on is the percentage change.
72.27% year to date.
Silver £65.02
Gold £1622.32
When you compare the values, gold looks like a huge difference.
But, once we get the percentages together, silver has outperformed gold just shy of 50%
Silver 154.52%
Gold 72.27%
This is huge and a great show that silver is starting to be valued more. Which may mean that we finish the year with rather larger value holdings than we thought.
Another benefit I find with silver, is that buying it and selling it is a lot simpler and faster than gold.
Not many have a spare £3866.50 sat around to buy 1oz of gold. Silver on the overhand is more accessible to the general masses. This makes it in my eyes the better and safer investment for folk who don't have as much spare cash
Now we sit and wait to see just where the values take us
