Silver continues to draw interest in Egypt as a savings and investment option alongside gold, particularly for buyers who want a precious metal at a reachable price.
Fine silver (999) was quoted at about 82.65 pounds a gram today, with sterling silver (925) near 76.45 pounds. An ounce came in around 2,571 pounds.
In larger units, 100 grams of fine silver works out at roughly 8,265 pounds, and a full kilogram at about 82,650 pounds — the weights favoured by anyone treating silver as a long-term store of value.
One figure investors watch is the gold-to-silver ratio, currently around 85. It says an ounce of gold is worth roughly 85 ounces of silver, and some use it to judge which of the two looks better value.
Holding both gold and silver remains a common approach, combining gold's relative steadiness with silver's higher growth potential and higher volatility.
Silver tarnishes in humid air and loses its shine over time, so it is best kept in sealed bags or airtight boxes — particularly bars and investment pieces.
Silver markets sometimes move sharply within a few hours, more so than gold, which is why a single day's move is a poor basis for a decision to buy or sell.
