XAGUSD

Silver vs US Dollar. Silver behaves like a higher-beta version of gold: the same drivers, larger percentage swings, thinner liquidity and a proportionally wider spread. Everything that works on gold needs its distances widened here, not copied.

Before you trade it

Three things specific to this instrument

  • Percentage moves routinely run at twice gold’s. A gold-sized stop is a silver-sized accident.
  • Liquidity thins badly outside the London–New York overlap.
  • Industrial demand gives it a sensitivity to manufacturing data that gold does not have.
