Scrap Silver Poised for Great Rebound in 2020

Despite silver having significant demand as an industrial metal, it is seemingly outshone by metals such as gold, at least when it comes to valuations.

But if you hold onto a piece of scrap silver, don’t lose hope – scrap silver prices could potentially have been undervalued by a significant margin relative to gold in more recent times, meaning those scrap silver items you’ve got lying around gathering dust could become a great deal more valuable in 2020.

Learn why scrap silver could be poised for a great rebound in 2020.

The price is right for a rebound

Precious metals such as gold and silver have often risen in tandem over the last few decades.

While scrap gold can enjoy sharp rises in value, scrap silver prices demonstrate far greater volatility. You might have seen how scrap gold prices are significantly higher than those of scrap silver, but taking this at face value would be to miss an important fact, which is that the prices of gold and silver have a most unusual relationship.

Based on historical averages, scrap silver is significantly undervalued relative to scrap gold. When this has occurred historically, silver has always outperformed gold and enjoyed a considerably greater increase in value eventually.

That means that any scrap silver items you’re thinking of selling, whether old cutlery, jewellery or even an heirloom, could soon become considerably more valuable. It’s just a matter of timing.
