Silver's Secret: Why Prices Won't Crash Despite Rapid Rise. Supply Crisis Revealed!

  • Silver supply has remained stagnant for five years, creating a persistent deficit of 100-125 million ounces since 2021, unable to meet rising demand.
  • Most silver is a by-product of lead, zinc, and copper mines, making it difficult to increase production independently when silver demand rises.
  • Industrial demand is surging from solar panels, electronics, data centers, and electric vehicles; the solar sector alone could consume 15-20% of global silver by decade-end.
  • Increased investment in silver ETFs, mutual funds, and physical silver is "locking out" supply from the market, further tightening availability.
  • Silver is no longer just a cheaper alternative to gold; its distinct economy, driven by industrial demand and limited supply, sustains its high prices.

Why It Matters: Silver prices are driven by a severe supply deficit and surging industrial demand, not just speculation.
