“Demand for physical silver, and gold for that matter, is showing overall investor concern over the state of the economy, geopolitical turmoil, and potentially persistent inflation. The risks are creating a growing willingness to park money in safe-haven assets.” – Stephen Gardner, director, ETF Managers Group
USAGOLD note: The demand for silver coins and bullion is running at levels we have not seen for years. Investors see it as an undervalued safe-haven alternative to gold with the added benefit, as this article points out, of tech-based industrial demand. Silver sentiment got a big boost from a recent Silver Institute study revealing a record 237.7 million ounce supply deficit for 2022.
