Silver Market Overview: Silver prices have surged 26% in the first seven months of the year, driven by declining supply and increasing industrial demand, particularly from sectors like solar energy and electric vehicles. The market is facing its seventh consecutive year of deficit, with a cumulative shortfall of nearly 800 million ounces since 2021.
Investment Trends: Investment demand for silver has intensified, with significant inflows into silver-backed exchange-traded products and record purchases in countries like India. The current silver-to-gold ratio suggests potential upside for silver, as it remains more accessible to retail investors and is seen as a hedge against geopolitical instability and inflation.
