Precious metals intelligence
Silver Industrial Demand
Silver is roughly half industrial metal, half monetary metal. Understanding the industrial half explains a lot of its volatility.
EVs and medical
Electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and medical antimicrobial uses add to industrial demand. None alone moves the market, but the basket is meaningful.
Supply context
Silver supply is largely a by-product of base-metal mining, which means it does not respond quickly to higher silver prices. That asymmetry feeds volatility.
