What happened to the silver price in 2000
Silver averaged $4.95 per troy ounce in 2000, down 5.2% from $5.22 the year before. Daily trading data shows silver moved between a low of $4.55 and a high of $5.54 during the year, ending 2000 at $4.59.
The 2000s revived silver as an investment asset. The launch of the SLV exchange-traded fund in 2006 opened the metal to mainstream portfolios, and the financial crisis at the end of the decade rekindled safe-haven demand.
Adjusted for inflation, silver's 2000 average of $4.95 equals about $9.26 in today's dollars. The conversion uses US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U annual averages, so treat it as a close approximation rather than an exact figure.
