So, how do the gold-silver seasonal charts differ?
The seasonality of the price of silver differs significantly from the seasonality of Gold. Remarkable is the strong up movement from January until April. Seasonally, after that is a correction until the end of June, and then a moderate up movement until the end of December.
Understanding the gold-silver seasonal charts is critical for you as a buyer or seller of gold because it helps you know when the best times to buy or sell are. Whether you want to accumulate physical gold or silver to hold for the long-term, or wish to make a short or medium-term investment, it is critical to know where you can minimize cost and maximize profit.

Nearly all the demand for gold, outside of investment, is for Jewelry. Coincidence it’s higher during the holiday season? 😉
