Silver- They’re Piling In!

Latest figures from the Silver Institute!

When the gold price broke out to new highs this year, we repeatedly advised that silver would follow and even outpace gold.  

It sure has.  Silver is up more than 30 percent.  And even though gold made new all-time highs this year, silver has outperformed gold.

Silver in the solar industry is experiencing huge demand, now accounting for 14 percent of overall silver demand.  With that and other robust technology demand for silver, we expect the bull market to continue. 

Other components of this roaring silver bull market included the economic fundamentals, the geopolitical chaos of wars, and the financial uncertainties that have driven gold to new highs, factors like deficits and debt.

The Silver Institute reports that silver has been flooding into exchange traded products:

With net inflows of 95 million ounces (Moz) in the first half of 2025, silver ETP investment has already surpassed the total for all of last year. This surge reflects increasingly bullish price expectations.

By June 30, global silver ETP holdings reached 1.13 billion ounces (Boz), just 7% below their highest level since the peak of 1.21 Boz in February 2021.

Those exchange products are important for tallying silver demand, but under today’s economic circumstances we are insistent in cautioning you against holding mere title to precious metals in funds or in paper substitutes like exchange-traded products.  Economic and political atmospheres are not now reliable enough for that.  For maximum safety, buy only physical, tangible metals that you can take in your possession.  Be sure to read our recent post on Government Risk here.

One other thing to note that indicates that silver is an undervalued asset and a shining opportunity.  Silver is still priced well-below the highs it set in 1980, 2011, and 2012. Don’t miss out on this undervalued asset. 

There are options to choose among when you invest in real, tangible silver:  silver coins like US silver dollars, privately minted silver “rounds,” and silver bars of various sizes.  Fortunately, an experienced Republic Monetary Exchange precious metal professional can guide you through the special advantages of each and help you establish a portfolio that best serves your needs.
