The global silver market experienced sustained appreciation during the fourth quarter, driven by persistent supply deficits and strong industrial demand across major consuming regions. Chinese markets displayed progressive strengthening as industrial consumption from electric vehicle manufacturing, solar panel production, and electronics sectors maintained elevated levels. The prices were about 51252 USD/troy ounce (Spot FD) in October and around 70267 USD/troy ounce in December. Safe-haven buying intensified amid geopolitical uncertainties and monetary policy easing expectations, while supply constraints from the fifth consecutive year of global market deficit provided fundamental support. China's announced plans to restrict physical silver exports added to market tightness concerns.

Indian markets witnessed consistent appreciation despite initial volatility, with exceptional festive demand during Dhanteras and Diwali generating substantial import volumes as consumers purchased silver for decorative and investment purposes. The prices were about 54 USD/troy ounce in October and around 68 USD/troy ounce in December. Supply remained constrained due to limited availability from traditional sources, while growing adoption in renewable energy and technology sectors supported investment demand. European markets mirrored Asian appreciation trends as industrial consumption from manufacturing sectors maintained steady requirements, with particular strength in technology and renewable energy applications. The prices were about 49 USD/troy ounce (Spot) in October and around 65 USD/troy ounce in December. Federal Reserve rate cut expectations supported the precious metals complex, while weakening dollar conditions enhanced silver's attractiveness as a safe-haven asset across all regions.

Silver Production Process

  • Production of Silver via Smelting.

Silver can be derived or extracted by using smelting or chemical leaching process, where heat and chemical reducing agents are utilised to get the base metal from the ore. Thus, smelting process leaves Silver behind from its ore. However, Silver can also be produced during the electrolytic refining of copper through Parkes process.
