Silver Continues to Strengthen, Tight Supply Pushes Prices Higher
Silver continued to exhibit strong fundamentals on December 19, 2025, with prices continuing to approach or even break record highs due to strong global demand and relatively tight supply. Silver has strengthened sharply throughout 2025, far outperforming gold in price performance, due to numerous driving factors from both the industrial and investment sectors.

One of the main reasons for the strong fundamentals is the ongoing structural deficit: global demand for silver—particularly from industrial sectors such as solar panels, electric vehicles, electronics, and other green technologies—continues to rise, while production from mines and recycling supplies is insufficient to keep up with market demand. This means demand often exceeds supply, driving prices up.
Furthermore, market sentiment is supported by the prospect of monetary policy easing in the United States and other countries, which weakens the dollar and increases the appeal of precious metals like silver. Investors are also increasingly attracted to silver due to its dual role as an industrial commodity and a safe haven, making it highly sought after by both industrial players and investors. (az)
