A graph showing the historical prices of gold and silver
According to industry experts, silver prices could revisit the historical peak of USD 40/ounce in the near future due to escalating global trade tensions and declining mining activities, while demand continues to outstrip supply for the fourth consecutive year.
Michele Schneider, head of market strategy at MarketGauge, states that while gold remains a solid choice in the current environment, the recent rise in the gold/silver ratio indicates that silver is “poised to shine”.
Last month, the gold/silver ratio hit a five-year high, soaring to 107 points as gold reached an all-time high of USD 3,500/ounce. Schneider sees similarities between the 2020 peak and the current price action. In 2020, the gold/silver ratio plummeted from its record high to a six-year low, adjusting 51% within a year.
As the metal with the highest electrical and thermal conductivity, silver is essential for manufacturing solar panels, electric vehicles, and power grid infrastructure. Thus, silver has been and will continue to be indispensable in the green energy revolution.
Meanwhile, silver supply is tighter than ever, and investors are flocking to it as a safe-haven asset amid global economic uncertainties and escalating trade tensions.
