It still surprises me how a plain, poured silver bar can jump in price.
It has nothing to do with changes in the silver bar ... same weight, same stamp, same look. But that simple silver bar is worth way more than it was several years or months ago.
The reason is pretty simple: the market is doing what the market does.
Silver has a real supply-and-demand problem right now. We’re using more than we’re producing. It's industrial demand, especially from green technology. Solar panels, EVs, batteries, electronics... all need silver. When industries start grabbing more, there’s less left for stackers and collectors.
And any time the world feels shaky, people run to hard assets. Silver gets attention fast, and investors start piling in. Then premiums follow.
The supply keeps tightening. Then some mints slow down while others stop making certain silver bars. And when governments and big institutions are grabbing more silver, the small silver bars get scooped up fast.
Put all that together, and even the most ordinary bar can suddenly command a price that feels unreal. It's not because the silver bar changed or because the stamp changed. But because everything around it did.
That’s the part that gets me.
When the market tightens, everything moves up...
I hope to see you again soon!
