Data as of 26 June 2026. Prices are quoted as multi-year and full-year averages, not a single day’s snapshot, so this report stays useful over time. Reserves, production splits, balances, and historical series are estimates from agency data, rounded for clarity. This report is for information only and was prepared with AI assistance — see the disclaimer at the end.

Silver is the two-faced metal: half precious-metal store of value, half critical industrial input. It trades alongside gold as a monetary hedge, yet more than half of demand now comes from factories — above all from solar panels — and the market has run a structural deficit for five straight years. In 2025 that tension drove silver from under $30 to above $50 an ounce. This report is the free, big-picture primer on how the silver market actually works — where it comes from, who buys it, how its price is set, and which forces drive it.
