Inverse silver ETFs are designed to move in the opposite direction of the underlying silver price. This means that if silver prices rise, the ETF will likely fall, and vice versa.
The ProShares UltraShort Silver ETF (ZSL) is one example of an inverse silver ETF that aims to provide a daily return that is -2 times the daily return of the underlying silver price.
In contrast, the ProShares UltraPro Short Silver ETF (ZSP) aims to provide a daily return that is -3 times the daily return of the underlying silver price.
While inverse silver ETFs can be a useful tool for investors looking to profit from a decline in silver prices, they are not without risk.
Inverse Silver ETF Options
Inverse Silver ETF options allow you to bet against the price of silver.
These options can be used to hedge against potential losses in a silver investment.
Some inverse Silver ETFs, like the ProShares UltraShort Silver ETF, have a 2x daily return, meaning they move twice as much as the inverse of the price of silver.
This can be a powerful tool for investors who want to profit from a decline in silver prices.
However, it's essential to understand that inverse ETFs can be volatile and may not always perform as expected.
The ProShares UltraShort Silver ETF, for example, has a 3-year standard deviation of 45.6%, indicating a high level of volatility.
