Silver Becomes the Champion of Precious Metal Investments in 2025

During the first 11 months of 2025, silver became the winner of precious metal investments. From January 1 to November 17, silver ranked first in precious metal returns, outperforming gold.

At the beginning of 2025, the price of silver per ounce was $28.89, with a price per gram of 32.81 lira. The price per ounce of silver increased to $54.48, hitting a 15-year high, with the price per gram reaching 74.00 lira, setting a historical record.

As for gold, at the beginning of 2025, the price per ounce was $2,623, with a price per gram of 3,050 lira. Gold’s price per ounce rose to $4,381, with the price per gram reaching 6,282 lira, setting a historical record. These peaks occurred in October.

From the beginning of the year to date, silver increased by $25.59 per ounce and 41.19 lira per gram; gold increased by $1,758 per ounce and 3,232 lira per gram. Silver appears poised to maintain its leading position this year.

Why Did Silver Rise Sharply?

Decline in Gold/Silver Ratio

In April, the gold/silver ratio rose to 106. This week, it closed at 80.00. This means that an investor who exchanged 1 kilogram of gold for 106 kilograms of silver in April can now exchange 1 kilogram of gold for 80 kilograms of silver. In other words, in 11 months, the silver portion of the investor’s portfolio gained 26 kilograms in profit. This equates to a profit of 17.94 million lira, an average of 163,090 lira per month. The ratio’s decline means silver’s value has increased.

Increased Demand

According to World Bank data, physical demand for silver has risen significantly over the past five years. Industrial demand is steadily growing, especially in solar energy, electric vehicles, defense, healthcare and photography, as well as in cloud seeding and digital electronics.

Rising Gold Costs

Many industries no longer prefer to use gold, as its increased value leads to higher costs, which negatively affects producers. As gold costs rise, demand for silver increases.

Preparing for the Digital Age

Although we now call this the digital age, digital advances in the coming years will be faster and more efficient. Technological innovations in devices such as phones and computers will accelerate. This is another major factor driving demand for physical silver. Since silver is a conductive and durable metal, it will be the preferred precious metal during updates in solar panel design.

Insufficient Production

In recent years, silver production has not been enough to meet demand. Ongoing supply deficits and physical tightness are major factors supporting prices.

Rising demand and price advantages make silver increasingly attractive, turning it into a preferred investment tool.

Since 2020, demand for silver in Turkey has risen significantly, both in bank accounts and physical form. To date, gold has been seen as a safe haven in times of economic crisis and war. Now, silver is seen both as an investment tool and as an industrial metal. Silver in Turkey is no longer just for jewelry and adornment—it is now proven as an investment tool.

Silver is not unfamiliar in Turkish society. In the past, silver was even used as currency.

Citizens who say “Gold prices are too high, we can’t afford it” should remember that silver is cheaper and, as seen this year, sometimes a more profitable investment than gold. (Today, 1 gram of gold is 5,759 lira, 1 gram of silver is 70 lira.)

Rules Silver Investors Should Follow

• Silver is for patient investors. Impatient investors should avoid silver. Silver may require an 11-month wait but can outperform gold in just 1 month.
• Silver comes in three physical forms: grains, grams, and bars. Those wanting to accumulate physical silver should understand these differences. Packaging and bars require a processing fee, grains do not.
• You can invest in silver in three ways: opening a silver account at a bank, buying physical silver from local markets, or ordering from refinery websites.
• You can download trading apps on your phone to buy and sell 24/7 year-round and withdraw your silver at a delivery point without additional fees.

Will Silver Investments Be Profitable in the Future?

Many of the reasons above indicate that silver will continue to yield returns for investors in the future. In particular, my expectation of a further decline in the gold/silver ratio suggests that silver will maintain its advantage.

Although the gold/silver ratio rose to 106 in April 2025, I expect it to fall to 72 or below. Last week (second week of November), it had already dropped to 77.

In asset diversification, I tend to reserve a space for silver. In long-term planning, I see great benefits for children’s educational futures. The color of savings has changed. It used to be yellow, now it’s white.

These precious metals were not given to humanity by God for nothing. What excites me most is silver’s antibacterial properties and uses for human health. In 2026, my champion will still be silver. I will be watching for a gram price above 120 lira and an ounce price above $75.

Russia is the first country to add silver to its national reserves. All central banks will begin adding silver to their official assets—be prepared, don’t be surprised.

Gold prices started this week lower. I congratulate those who waited in October. The manipulated pricing in October harmed those who panicked.

Currently, gold is 5,750 lira per gram (physical), and gold is $4,080 per ounce. I will be watching for a range of $3,800–4,000 by year-end. The purchase should be completed in four steps within the $4,000–3,800 range.

For the gram price, the purchase should be completed stepwise within the 5,550–5,750 lira range by year-end. From January 2026 onward, my expectation of an uptrend continues. Throughout 2026, my expectations for gold are $4,880 per ounce and 8,000 lira per gram.

When these prices are reached, I will revise upwards. For a commodity that directly serves human health, I believe its future is undeniable. May your future be as profitable and bright as silver…
