Our expectations for Silver in 2021

Our consultants at Platinum holdings see the economic recovery that is underway continuing over the rest of the year, and that in turn will be good news for silver.

As for silver’s supply and demand fundamentals, our full-year projections for 2021 show gains for every single line in our supply-demand table. Mine production, for example, is expected to rise by 8 percent, as output recovers after last year’s COVID-19-related disruptions. Recycling is also expected to increase, helped by the stronger silver price. Overall, supply is forecast to rise by 8 percent to 1,056.3Moz (32,854t) in 2021. In our view, all of this is conducive to further price gains. We expect silver to rise to a peak of $32 later in the year and that it will average $27.30 overall in 2021, achieving a 33% y/y increase.
