While gold faltered this past week on fears of rate hikes, silver wasn’t too bothered and put in another good week, gaining 3.4%. Silver is now up in 2024 by 5.4%.

Worldwide silver demand is expected to rise 1 percent owing to a projected record high in industrial demand and a turnaround in jewelry and silverware offtake.
The accuracy of publicly available silver inventory statistics is questionable. Should the deficit between output and consumption persist, it is hard to see how the silver price won’t climb.
