Silver's been running on fumes since 2021—supply just can't keep up with what industry actually needs. 🔧

The gap keeps getting worse. More deficit means tighter supply, and that's reflected in silver hitting new price records lately.

When you've got persistent shortages like this, the math is simple: scarcity pushes prices up. Industrial demand isn't slowing down anytime soon, so these supply constraints aren't going anywhere.

This structural imbalance in the global silver market is reshaping how traders think about commodity exposure and inflation hedging strategies going forward.

The recent surge in silver prices is real, but the problem is that mining capacity can't keep up.

The shortage of silver this time is indeed outrageous, and industrial demand simply can't be stopped.

Is silver about to take off again? I keep feeling like there's something a bit off with this logic...

Silver is truly about to take off this time, we should have stocked up some earlier.

Silver has been overdrawing since 2021, and it's still relying on old reserves. The gap is getting bigger and bigger, industrial demand simply can't be stopped, and soaring prices are just a matter of time. In an era of supply chain collapse, what are we waiting for to stockpile some scarce items? The rise in silver prices is actually just everyone following the trend to hedge against inflation... Wake up, everyone. In the short term, don't expect silver prices to drop; this time, it's truly a structural problem.
