SILVER-PRICE — Daily CSV Download (Silver Price in USD)
Silver occupies a unique position among commodities — part precious metal, part industrial input. Its price is more volatile than gold and more sensitive to economic cycles. This dataset provides the monthly average silver price in USD per troy ounce since 1960, sourced from the World Bank Commodity Price Data (Pink Sheet). Silver’s dual role as a monetary hedge and an industrial demand barometer makes it a useful cross-check for macro regime identification.

Macro Takeaway
This indicator is a key component of the macro-financial monitoring framework. Its current level relative to its historical distribution — captured in the percentile and z-score above — provides immediate context for whether conditions are historically normal, stretched, or compressed.
Cross-referencing with the gold price and the copper price helps situate this indicator within the broader macro regime.
