Silver, like other precious metals, may be used as an investment. For more than four thousand years, silver has been regarded as a form of money and store of value. However, since the end of the silver standard, silver has lost its role as legal tender in the United States. In 2009, the main demand resulted from industrial applications (40%), jewellery, bullion coins and exchange-traded products

Industrial, commercial and consumer demand

The traditional use of silver in photographic development has been dropping since 2000 due to the growth of digital photography.[18] However, silver is also used in electrical appliances (silver is the highest known conductor of electricity), photovoltaics (one of the highest reflectors of light), clothing and medical uses (silver has antibacterial properties). Other new applications for silver include RFID tags, wood preservatives, water purification and food hygiene.[19] The Silver Institute have seen a noticeable increase in silver-based biocide products coming onto the market, as they explain: Currently we're seeing a surge of applications for silver-based biocides in all areas: industrial, commercial and consumer. New products are being introduced almost daily. Established companies are incorporating silver based products in current lines - clothing, refrigerators, mobile phones, computers, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, keyboards, countertops, furniture handles and more. The newest trend is the use of nano-silver particles to deliver silver ions.[20]

The expansion of the middle classes in emerging economies aspiring to Western lifestyles and products may also contribute to a long-term rise in industrial and jewelry usage.[21]
[edit] Hedge against financial stress

Silver, like all precious metals, may be used as a hedge against inflation, deflation or currency devaluation. As Joe Foster, portfolio manager of the New York-based Van Eck International Gold Fund, explained in September 2010: The currencies of all the major countries, including ours, are under severe pressure because of massive government deficits. The more money that is pumped into these economies -- the printing of money basically -- then the less valuable the currencies become.[22]
