US-Venezuela Tensions Ignite Silver Volatility: Investors Face Buy/Wait Dilemma

  • Silver rallied to a record high of $82.77/ounce due to US-Venezuela conflict, then dropped to $79.45.
  • Geopolitical tensions (US-Venezuela) drive investors to safe-haven assets like silver, but its industrial demand link adds uncertainty.
  • Experts warn of sharp swings; index rebalancing and margin hikes (up 25%) could pressure prices.
  • China's solar industry substituting silver, signaling potential long-term industrial demand shifts.
  • Investors advised to expect volatility, avoid over-allocation, watch US data, and use staggered buying.
