Silver in the local market in Egypt today, 2 October 2026

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 81.80 pounds a gram today, with sterling silver (925) near 75.66 pounds. An ounce came in around 2,544 pounds. In larger units, 100 grams of fine silver works out at roughly 8,180 pounds, and a full kilogram at about 81,799 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. Silver takes far more storage space than gold for the same value. A kilo of silver is worth a fraction of a kilo of gold, which is a practical consideration for anyone thinking in larger quantities. Specialists track silver inventories on the global exchanges as a gauge of supply and demand. Falling stocks alongside strong industrial demand tend to support the price, and the reverse holds too. Silver purity is graded much like gold. Fine silver is 999, sterling is 925 — the grade most jewellery and accessories use — and 800 sits below both. The higher the number, the purer the metal and the higher the value.
