Is silver still in step with gold?

The precious metal that promises a safe haven is first and foremost gold. Silver is less attractive for investors. It is clear that a weakening economy has an impact on the prices of industrial metals. This also affects silver, as about half of it is used as an industrial metal. One positive aspect for the precious metal is the fact that it is in deficit. And things are not so bad for silver as an industrial raw material. After all, industrial demand has repeatedly reached new record highs in 2021, 2022 and 2023. This should continue this year. After all, demand for silver in photovoltaic technology is still on the rise. A silver deficit of around 176 million ounces is estimated for this year, which is no small figure. Global silver mine production is forecast to grow by four percent in 2024. This would then be 843 million ounces of silver. At the same time, however, silver production from zinc mines could decrease. This is because mines may be shut down due to weak zinc prices. The amount of recycled silver is also expected to decrease in 2024, according to estimates.

The fundamentals for silver are therefore positive across the board, and there could still be some bargains to be had. As soon as the Fed cuts interest rates as expected, silver investments and thus the price of the precious metal are likely to recover. Investors should therefore not only keep an eye on the big brother gold, but also on silver.
