2025 Silver Championship: Investment Analysis and Future Expectations

Source: BTCHaber Original Title: Championship in Silver Original Link: In the 11-month period of 2025, silver took the first place. Between January 1 and November 17, silver became the champion in precious metal returns and dethroned gold.

In 2025, the price of silver per ounce started at 28.89 dollars, and the price of silver per gram was at the level of 32.81 lira. The price of silver per ounce rose to 54.48 dollars, the highest level in 15 years, while the price of silver per gram reached 74.00 lira, the highest level of all time.

In 2025, the price of gold per ounce started at 2,623 dollars, and the price per gram of gold was at 3,050 lira. The price of gold per ounce broke all-time records at 4,381 dollars, while the price per gram of gold reached 6,282 lira. These peaks were observed in October.

Since the beginning of the year, the ounce of silver has risen to 25.59 dollars, the gram of silver to 41.19 lira, the ounce of gold to 1,758 dollars, and the gram of gold to 3,232 lira. In other words, it seems that silver will once again take the lead this year.

Why has silver risen so much?

The gold/silver ratio has declined:

In April, it had risen to 106. It completed the week at the level of 80.00. So, an investor who bought 1 kg of gold with 106 kg of silver in April can now replace their 1 kg of gold with 80 kg of silver today. This means that in 11 months, the investor has gained 26 kg of silver. The decline in the ratio means that the value of silver has increased.

Request increase:

According to the World Bank's data, there has been a significant increase in physical silver demand over the last five years. Solar energy, electric vehicles, the defense industry, medicine, and the photography sector continue to see high demand in digital electronics.

Cost increases in gold prices:

Many sectors no longer prefer to use gold. Because value increases reflect negatively on cost increases, and cost increases negatively affect the producer. I can say that as the cost of gold increases, the demand for silver will also rise.

Preparation for the digital age:

Digital developments in the coming years will be faster and more productive. Technological innovation in devices such as phones and computers will occur more rapidly. This emerges as another significant factor increasing the demand for physical silver. Since silver is a conductive and durable metal, it will be the preferred first precious metal in the process of model change in solar panels.

Production shortage:

In recent years, silver production in the market has fallen short of meeting demand. The ongoing supply deficit and physical constraints over the past few years have also been significant factors supporting prices.

Increasing demand and price advantage make silver more attractive. Therefore, it is becoming a preferred investment vehicle.

Since 2020, there has been a significant increase in the demand for silver both in bank accounts and physically in Turkey. Until now, gold has been seen as a safe haven during economic crises and wartime. However, silver is now viewed as both an investment vehicle and an industrial metal.

Silver is a commodity that Turkish society is not unfamiliar with. In ancient times, silver was also used as currency.

Citizens who say, “Gold prices have risen too much, we can no longer afford it” should not forget that silver is at a more affordable price and is an investment tool that sometimes yields more profit than gold, as it has this year.

Rules for Silver Investors to Pay Attention To:

• Silver is an investment vehicle for patient investors. Impatient investors should not engage with silver.
• There are three physical types of silver: granule, gram, and bullion. Those who want to accumulate physically need to be aware of this diversity.
• You can invest in silver in three ways: by opening a silver account at a bank, by purchasing physical silver, or by placing orders through refinery sources.

Will silver investment be profitable in the future?

The many reasons I mentioned above indicate that silver will continue to yield profits for its investors in the future. In particular, the decline I foresee on the ratio side suggests that silver will continue on its advantageous path.

Although the ratio is expected to rise to 106 in April 2025, I predict it will decline to 72 or lower.

I definitely prefer to include silver in the diversity of savings. I have seen great benefits in long-term planning, especially regarding the future education of children.

Russia became the first country to add silver to its state reserves. All central banks in the country will start adding silver to their official assets, so be prepared and don't be surprised.

Gold prices started the new week with a decline. Congratulations to those who held off on buying in October and remained patient.

Today, the gram gold is 5,750 lira (physical), and the ounce gold is 4,080 dollars. I will be monitoring the range of 3,800-4,000 dollars until the end of the year. My bullish outlook continues as of January 2026. Within the year 2026, I maintain my expectations of 4,880 dollars per ounce and 8,000 lira for gram gold.

The future of a commodity directly used in human health is, in my view, unquestionable.
