XAGUSD
Silver vs US Dollar. Silver behaves like a higher-beta version of gold: the same drivers, larger percentage swings, thinner liquidity and a proportionally wider spread. Everything that works on gold needs its distances widened here, not copied.

Before you trade it
Three things specific to this instrument
- Percentage moves routinely run at twice gold’s. A gold-sized stop is a silver-sized accident.
- Liquidity thins badly outside the London–New York overlap.
- Industrial demand gives it a sensitivity to manufacturing data that gold does not have.
