Silver investment momentum: why demand is rising

Investors, fund managers and industrial buyers all draw on the same limited supply of silver. Supply deficits, structural supply constraints and growing demand from green energy have brought renewed attention to the metal. Start your holding from £100.

Three forces in the silver market

When supply, demand and sentiment align

Silver rarely moves for a single reason. The most significant price moves in its history have come when several independent forces aligned at once. Some analysts who follow the metal closely argue that conditions are aligning again, although no one can say whether or when prices will follow.

01

Structural supply deficit

The Silver Institute has reported several years of global supply deficits. New silver supply cannot be brought online quickly. Most silver is mined as a by-product of base metals, so supply responds slowly to price.

02

Growing industrial demand

Solar panels use significant amounts of silver, and electric vehicles, electronics and 5G networks use it too. The Silver Institute expects industrial demand to keep growing.

03

Investor repositioning

When gold is strong, value-conscious investors and institutions often look at silver's relative discount, and inflows into silver-backed ETFs can rise. Because the silver market is small, large institutional flows can move the price sharply, in either direction.

Why physical ownership matters
