Gold has risen enormously in price. Although silver has also recently been able to catch up strongly, it has still lagged behind in the long term. This is shown by the high ratio of gold to silver prices, which is still well over 80. One reason is certainly that governments and central banks buy gold, but not silver. Nevertheless, the silver price is linked to the gold price. Therefore, silver also rises when gold rises in price. Silver is closely linked to economic activity due to its function as an industrial metal. In the context of the coming easing cycle, silver should perform well in terms of price.
Solar power generation is growing explosively. This is because it is now the cheapest form of electricity generation. Significant growth in demand for electricity is predicted for the USA in particular. And if it turns out, as some suspect, that the growth curve for solar energy will be even steeper, then silver will be in demand like never before. Even conservative forecasts predict that demand for solar power in 2030 will be three times higher than in 2022. And it is not least the use of artificial intelligence and more and more silver-intensive new technologies that are responsible for the increase in electricity demand.
If the price of silver rises sharply, mining companies benefit because their profits increase and the silver in the ground becomes more valuable. If you look at the price forecasts of various voices, many predict a price of between 25 and 35 US dollars per ounce of silver by the end of 2024 or mid-2025.
