Precious nature and the lasting quality make silver a universal favorite as an investment commodity and many invest by buying wholesale silver bullion. Buying wholesale silver bullion as investment is not at all a new phenomenon.
It was a common practice even in olden days. Though such investments are generally based on economic calculation, other considerations too may play a part behind this wholesale silver bullion investment. An example, quoted from India, is presented below.
Traditionally, members of many communities in India invest in wholesale silver bullion and store it with the intention that they can convert the bullion to silver glasses, dining sets, etc., when required.
Customarily, in many parts of the country, parents of a bride are tradition-bound to offer gifts to their son-in-law’s home. To this purpose, they prefer presenting them with objects made out of silver to prove the affluence of the bride’s family.
From such propensity to include silver even as part of family traditions, apart from using wholesale silver bullion as a long-term investment, it is no wonder that India is among the major silver consumers in the world, behind only USA and Japan.
Apart from the silver purchases made within the country by residents, a Non Resident Indian has the permission to purchase silver bullion to the extent of 100 kilograms that can be carried in personal baggage.
When reaching India, for every kilogram of the silver bought from abroad, it is required to pay Rs.500 as Custom Duty at the port of entry.
Comparing between silver and gold to decide the better metal for investment, experts recommend silver. There are important reasons that support silver as a better investment.
• In precious metal bull markets, the rate of increase of price of silver is much more than that of gold or platinum
• Silver enjoys more applications than gold does and more uses are being added regularly
• Many industrial uses and supply deficit of silver, help provide an underpinning to the price of silver
• Silver bullion with standard & known hallmarks are easily en-cashable
