About iShares Silver Trust

iShares Silver Trust (the Trust) owns silver transferred to the Trust in exchange for shares issued by the Trust. The Trust's each share represents a fractional undivided beneficial interest in its net assets. The assets of the Trust consist of silver held by the Trust's custodian on behalf of the Trust. The activities of the Trust are limited to issuing baskets of shares in exchange for the silver deposited with the custodian as consideration, selling silver as necessary to cover the sponsor's fee, Trust expenses not assumed by the sponsor and other liabilities, and delivering silver in exchange for baskets of shares surrendered for redemption. The Trust seeks to reflect the performance of the price of silver before payment of its expenses and liabilities.

Today's Trend

iShares Silver Trust (NYSEARCA: SLV) is trading higher as silver prices rebound, with traders reacting to a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report that boosted precious metals and pressured the dollar. The move also follows reports that silver had suffered its worst month since 2011, but recent articles suggest the metal may be stabilizing after a sharp correction.
