According to the Korea Gold Exchange on June 11, the market price of silver (3.75g) showed an overall weakness. The buying price was recorded at 13,310 won and the selling price at 10,910 won. Compared to the previous day, the buying price fell by 2.10% (-280 won) and the selling price dropped by 2.11% (-230 won).

International silver prices are experiencing increased volatility amid recent escalating geopolitical tensions surrounding the United States and Iran. On June 10 (local time), risk-averse sentiment spread across the New York financial markets, leading to a simultaneous decline in major indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 1.87%, the S&P 500 by 1.62%, and the Nasdaq Composite by 1.98%, indicating a significant contraction in investor sentiment.

Market analysts assess that speculation over a potential increase in the intensity of the U.S. response against Iran has stimulated investor caution. Like gold, silver is classified as a representative safe-haven asset. However, because a high proportion of it is used in industrial sectors such as solar power, electric vehicles, and semiconductors, it has the characteristic of reacting sensitively to macroeconomic forecasts.
