Future of Silver ETF in 2012

By Max Miller


Investors are puzzled with regards to the future of silver ETF with a lot of conjectures going on in the market place. They think that silver & silver ETFs would depreciate due to the ups & downs inside the international industry. It's clearly evident from the market approximations that silver & silver ETFs have deteriorated within the recent months. The change is partly because of the gold bust & investors being more concerned in putting money on flat currencies that according to them is an extremely safe form of exchange.

On January 13, 2012, silver prices fell to $29.42 an ounce, which was thought to decrease by 1.54 percent compared to the previous day. Because of fluctuation inside the marketplace, silver ETF like the iShare Silver Trust dropped 1.67 percent in addition to the Global-X Silver Miner ETF declined 1.52 percent on the said date.

Several analysts think that the silver would decline further this year after analyzing 2011 evaluations which depict variation in silver costs from the record $50 an ounce ascent to a radical $20 an ounce descent. Due to prevailing situations, investors believe that silver would be more volatile within the year 2012.

Silver is volatile in nature, but it's always been regarded as a safe investment like its gold counterpart. Investing in silver is always advantageous despite of the flat currencies such as Japanese Yen, Euro Dollars and US Dollars, which are ensured by their respective governments. Due to a great deal of depreciations in metals by ratings groups and a possible international crunch in Europe, shareholders have lessened investing in precious metals in order to save their networth.

Because of the ongoing condition of the international industry and increasing significance of the flat currencies, a precious metal is likely to become more volatile as ever. The European economic crisis has duly influenced the commodity market in which Europe's the major ruler. In spite the dissimilarities within the commodity market place & downgrades by S&P previously, several nations like Austria, Italy and France have managed to put aside enough funds to fulfil their monetary obligations. Euro, as a set currency, would stay intact and safe, which would influence the costs of precious metals. In turn, this would affect silver which would undergo a huge decline in 2012. Hence, it's better for one to think twice prior to investing in silver ETF, considering the industry situation would stay in such state for some time.
