GLD vs SLV: how they differ

SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) are both exchange-traded funds. Both trade on AMEX.

GLD trades about 8.9 million shares a day on average, against 16.8 million for SLV. SLV has the higher beta (1.26 against 0.45 for GLD), meaning it has historically moved more with the broad market. Neither currently pays a distribution.

Figures as of October 26, 2026.

The chart Z-score-normalizes each closing series, computing (close − mean) ÷ standard deviation over the window, so both paths share one scale regardless of price level, and correlation is computed on daily returns.
