What Happened to Silver in 2018?

Silver declined in 2018 as four Federal Reserve rate hikes, a rising US dollar, and trade war concerns weighed on the metal. Industrial demand from solar was a bright spot — China's solar installations hit a record — but investor selling dominated. Silver touched a three-year low near $14 in September before recovering. Retail coin demand surged at lower prices.
