Silver Outlook
Silver is used for industrial applications such as medicine, electronics and semiconductors among others.
But silver is also considered a hedge during an economic crisis.
Silver has since closed some of that gap against gold as demand for silver increased during the pandemic.
In fact, if you tried to buy physical silver coins and bullion during the pandemic, you probably struggled to do so with the lockdowns, mint closures and backlogs.
Mexico, the largest silver producer in the world had to stop production because of the pandemic.
The gold-to-silver ratio is now sitting at around 78, higher than the average.
Silver demand as a hedge could still go higher even with an economic slowdown with lockdowns looking likely in Europe and in the US as they head to winter, central banks printing large amounts of money to keep their economies afloat, higher unemployment and market volatility.
