Retail investors love silver

According to forecasts, institutional investors could become fonder of silver in 2023. This is because they are expected to limit their short positioning due to the strong link with the gold price. And for the gold price, many see new highs this year. But silver is also considered a "leveraged gold bet." The only question is to what extent the gold price will then pull the silver price up with it. Economic and geopolitical crises should make gold and silver shine. If the turnaround in the Fed’s interest rate policy occurs, this will be another plus for precious metal prices. Of course, it is the energy turnaround in particular that will be responsible for sustained high silver demand. This area alone should strengthen the silver price. After all, more and more governments are favoring renewable energy sources and thus driving silver demand.

Significant silver demand comes from U.S. private investor demand for coins and bars. Demand for silver is also high in India. And exports of the precious metal to Canada have increased. Precious metals have then been shipped from the U.S. to Canada to serve end-user markets. More than 50 percent of silver is consumed by industry. If the manufacturing sector grows, as is generally expected, this in turn strengthens the price of silver. For the first quarter of 2024, some analysts expect the price of silver to be around US$29 per troy ounce.

It’s worth taking a look at companies with silver, for example MAG Silver – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/mag-silver-corp/ -.
