Both gold and silver may provide a hedge in a potential economic or market downturn or even during sustained periods of rising inflation
Both metals have strategic investment benefits. Let us see which is a better investment- Gold or Silver
Silver may be the better inflation hedge because given the industrial demand, silver tends to rise more than gold with rising inflation and a falling dollar
Silver may be more tied to the global economy because silver is more sensitive to the economic changes than gold
The volatility in the prices of silver may be three times greater than of gold
Gold is considered to be a more powerful diversifier and has been consistently uncorrelated to stocks and has had low correlations with other major asset classes
If you just about to start investing then silver is a better option as it is cheaper than gold
