Silver Futures FAQs
1. What are Silver Futures?
Silver futures are exchange-listed contracts to trade the future price of silver. The standard contract, SI, represents 5,000 troy ounces and trades on COMEX, part of CME Group. It's physically deliverable, settling against the silver price at expiry unless the position is closed or rolled beforehand
2. What's the difference between SI, SIC and SIL Silver Futures?
SI is the standard contract at 5,000 troy ounces. SIC tracks 100 troy ounces, a much smaller size. SIL, the Micro contract, sits between them, giving a fraction of SI's exposure per contract at a correspondingly lower margin requirement. All three settle against the same underlying silver price
3. What moves Silver Futures prices?
Silver futures respond to many of the same drivers as gold, including real interest rates and the strength of the US dollar, since silver is also held as a store of value. Unlike gold, silver has significant industrial demand from electronics and solar panel manufacturing, so global manufacturing activity moves the price too
4. What are the margin requirements to trade Silver Futures?
Margin on SI, SIC and SIL is set by the exchange and varies with volatility, particularly around major economic data and periods of market stress. Brokers can require additional margin above the exchange minimum. KGI Crusoe has no account minimum; capital required depends on the contract and quantity traded. Current figures are listed in the contract specifications
5. What are the risks of trading Silver Futures?
Silver futures are leveraged, so a small price move can produce a large move against your margin, and losses can exceed the amount deposited. Silver tends to be more volatile than gold given its smaller market size and industrial demand exposure. All three contracts are physically deliverable, so positions held into the delivery period carry delivery obligations most traders avoid by closing or rolling beforehand
