Silver Prices Soar: China's Master Plan Driving Global Surge?
- •Global silver prices are reaching record highs, with China showing an unprecedented premium of $16 per ounce over international rates.
- •China's domestic silver market sees a kilogram of silver priced Rs. 45,000 higher than in other countries, indicating massive internal demand.
- •China consumes over 65% of global silver production, driven by industrial use, electronics, solar panels, and investment in spot and futures markets.
- •Decreasing global supply due to limited mine production and China's new export policy, restricting exports to licensed companies, are further fueling price hikes.
- •Silver has seen extraordinary returns: 42% in one month, 127% in three months, 182% in six months, and over 250% in one year, making it a rare investment phenomenon.
Why It Matters: China's high demand, restricted supply, and new export policies are significantly driving global silver price surges.
