current spot price for silver
Spot price is the current price at which a commodity, like gold or silver, can be bought or sold. It is considered the explicit value of a particular precious metal at that point in time in the marketplace. For silver, the spot price reflects the current price for one ounce of pure silver. Thus, a silver spot price of 17.54 means that silver is currently valued at $17.54 per ounce.What is tricky about spot price is that it is the base price of the metal; you cannot actually buy physical silver or silver ETFs at spot price.
