What Happened to Silver in 2022?
Silver was essentially flat in 2022, masking a wild round-trip. Russia's invasion of Ukraine drove a spike to nearly $27 in March. Then the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hiking cycle (425bps) drove silver to $17.40 by September — an 18-month low. Year-end recovery was driven by China's reopening from COVID lockdowns and solar demand optimism. The gold/silver ratio ended near 83.
