Silver as Investment
Why Silver as an Investment?
Silver has long been recognized as a strategic asset in diversified portfolios, offering unique advantages in an era of economic uncertainty and technological advancement.
As a precious metal, it serves as an effective hedge against inflation, currency devaluation, and geopolitical risks, preserving value when fiat currencies falter. Unlike purely speculative investments, silver's intrinsic utility stems from its dual nature: approximately 59% of its demand arises from industrial applications, providing a fundamental floor to its price even during market downturns.
In 2025, amid rising interest rates and global supply chain disruptions, silver has demonstrated resilience, gaining nearly 25% through mid-year and continuing its ascent. Institutional forecasts highlight its potential for substantial returns, with predictions of prices reaching $50 per ounce by year-end, driven by historic supply deficits exceeding 200 million ounces.
This positions silver not merely as a safe haven but as a growth-oriented asset, particularly appealing to investors seeking exposure to green technology and renewable energy sectors.
