About this listen

 This week on The Silver Show, host Bob highlights silver’s surge to $37.28 per ounce—its highest level since 2012—driven by a combination of rising industrial demand and continued global economic uncertainty. The price has climbed 2–3% from earlier June levels, fueled by a tight physical market and a five-year global supply deficit. Investors and analysts alike are paying close attention, especially as silver’s role in major growth industries continues to expand.

A key driver of silver’s rally is the solar energy sector, which now consumes over 100 million ounces annually. China remains at the forefront, building vast solar farms and leveraging massive domestic manufacturing capacity, all of which require silver-based photovoltaic technology. Other industrial sectors—especially electric vehicles, electronics, and AI—are also major silver consumers. Companies like Tesla, Apple, and Samsung rely on silver’s superior conductivity for batteries, sensors, and chips, reinforcing silver’s demand beyond just financial speculation.

With gold setting records at $3397, many investors view silver as undervalued, citing a historically high gold-silver ratio and technical chart patterns that suggest upside toward $40–$46 per ounce. ETF inflows remain strong, indicating sustained investor interest. Analysts point to industrial demand, favorable macro trends, and a weakening dollar as ongoing catalysts. If silver holds above the $37–38 range, technical targets could soon be tested. Bob wraps by encouraging listeners to stay informed and consider silver not just as a commodity, but as a store of value amid uncertain fiat currency conditions.
