What happened to the silver price in 2004
Silver averaged $6.67 per troy ounce in 2004, climbing 36.7% from the $4.88 average of 2003. Daily trading data shows silver moved between a low of $5.45 and a high of $8.44 during the year, ending 2004 at $6.79.
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 2004 average of $6.67 equals about $11 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.
