According to the report of Tata Mutual Fund, despite the record rise in recent months, silver may remain strong, although the fluctuations will be high. Strong demand, supply shortage and stock issues are supporting the prices. In the report, investors have been advised to invest in silver through SIP or gradually, because this commodity is quite volatile.

In the last one year, Silver ETF has given returns of more than 200%. Tata Silver ETF remained on top, while Nippon India Silver ETF gave 212% return and UTI Silver ETF gave 206% return. According to Satish Dondapati, Fund Manager, Kotak Mutual Fund, in the last one year the price of silver has increased by more than 170%, while that of gold has increased by about 70%. Both are considered safe-haven assets, but silver is also an industrial metal, so it has more advantages in the current economic environment.

It has also been said in the report that silver getting the status of critical mineral in America, lack of supply and strong demand from investors are the major reasons for its rise. Apart from this, concerns about tariffs, delivery problems between London and New York and expectations of a fall in real interest rates have also made silver an attractive investment. Another important indicator is the gold-silver ratio, which has fallen from 82 to 58 in a month. This means that silver may be cheaper than gold, due to which investors may move towards silver.
