Is silver generally a safe haven asset? I'm new to this, and I've heard gold is. Wondering if silver is similar in times of market uncertainty or should i be looking at something else entirely.

Good question about silver as a safe haven. While gold is the classic safe haven, silver also has some of those qualities, especially in times of inflation. However, it's also an industrial metal, so its price is heavily influenced by demand from manufacturing and technology. This dual nature means it can be more volatile than gold sometimes. You'll see it react to both economic uncertainty and industrial growth prospects. So, it's not a pure safe haven like gold, but it definitely has its place in a diversified portfolio, especially if you're looking at long-term positions. Just remember the industrial demand factor.
