Silver Prices in Swiss Francs

Silver is a highly popular commodity that is traded all over the world. Silver can be traded or quoted in any currency and is typically quoted by the ounce, gram or kilogram. If you are looking to buy or sell silver in Switzerland, for example, you would likely see prices quoted per ounce, gram and kilo in Swiss Francs.

The Swiss Franc is not only the official currency of Switzerland, but it is also the currency of Liechtenstein. The franc is also considered good, legal tender in the Italian exclave Campione d’Italia. The Swiss currency is produced by both the Swiss National Bank which provides all of the country’s banknotes and the Swissmint which provides the nation’s coinage.

The Swiss franc is a heavily traded currency and has a strong reputation as a safe-haven among traders and investors. The Swiss currency is often bought during times of economic or geopolitical distress. The Swiss Government and Swiss economy are widely considered to be some of the most stable in the world, hence their attractiveness. Switzerland in the past had a law in place that made almost half of the nation’s currency backed by gold. This law was repealed in 2000. In 2014, however, the country took a vote on the “Swiss Gold Initiative” which proposed that 20 percent of the nation’s currency be backed by gold. The referendum was voted down.

The global market for silver can be affected by numerous potential factors. Some of the biggest influences on the price of silver may include jewelry demand, investment demand, industrial demand, interest rates, currency markets, inflation and more.

Unlike gold, which sees demand from jewelry markets and investors, silver also has a distinct source of demand from modern industry.

As more industrial applications for silver are discovered, both demand and prices could potentially rise.
