What Happened to Silver in 2017?

Silver was essentially flat in 2017 despite gold gaining 13%. The gold/silver ratio widened back above 77, signaling relative underperformance. The US dollar's weakness supported both metals early in the year, but Bitcoin's dramatic rise attracted speculative money away from silver. Industrial demand from the solar sector hit record levels but was not enough to offset investment outflows.
