Increase in value
Precious metals – all-rounders in the fields of industry, finance and culture.
Precious metals have always been of great importance for humans.
The value of precious metals is determined by their outstanding properties and their rarity.
In particular, their resistance to corrosion and their stability at high temperatures make them usable in industrial processes and high-quality high-tech applications. Precious metals are indispensable for manufacturing industry.
Precious metals are also stable in value, however, and represent prosperity, beauty and luxury. In addition to their wealth of symbolism and their cultural significance for thousands of years, reserved for the powerful in previous ages, • gold • silver • platinum and • palladium, as secure assets, are now acquiring an important role in the development of financial independence.
It is always worth investing in precious metals, even with small amounts, so as to achieve aims thanks to their continually growing value.
Silver – its origin.
The trigger: the collision of neutron stars.
It was not until the 21st century that scientists discovered that silver and gold were created during the collision of giant neutron stars some 80 million years before the birth of our solar system. Neutron stars are the cores of burnt-out suns. Due to their high density, when they collide and merge into a black hole – at a temperature of several billion degrees Celsius – gamma-ray bursts are produced. However, before the stars become a black hole, a very rapid energy process begins. This produces neutron-rich isotopes, which then decay again. During this process, some heavy metals, including gold and silver, were created and hurled into the universe as matter.
Silver deposits
on Earth
.
What is certain is that silver was hurled into space after its formation and entered the Earth's crust, which was not yet solid at that time. There it was deposited in various locations. The proportion of silver in the Earth's crust per tonne of rock is 0.08 grams. The silver deposits in the Earth's crust are thus 20 times greater than those of gold, but about 700 times smaller than those of copper.
The most important silver-producing countries.
• Mexico 6,300 tonnes • China 3,300 tonnes • Peru 3,100 tonnes and • Poland 1,300 tonnes. Silver is often mined as a by-product of other metals such as copper, lead and zinc. According to the Silver Institute, the silver market is facing its fifth consecutive year of supply deficit in 2025. The deficit for 2025 is estimated at around 95 million ounces.
Silver – the foundationof a new industrial age.
Silver as an irreplaceable technology driver.
As the world's best electrical conductor, silver is indispensable as a component in microchips, sensors, solar modules, electric cars, data centres, high-tech defence systems, medicine and much more. Silver is, among other things, the backbone of modern security and communication technologies. The smaller the devices and the more powerful the processors become, the more engineers need materials that work quickly, efficiently and with the utmost reliability in the smallest of spaces. Silver is unbeatable in all these properties!
Silver, the • 3 unstoppable demand segments.
The increase in the value of silver is driven simultaneously by three unstoppable demand segments: • 1. Monetary (building up assets) • 2. Industrial (economic development through new technologies) and • 3. Military (building up security).
Several demand trends are adding up. From the past performance of gold, we know that: • One of these trends is enough to trigger a bull market. If there are even three at the same time, we can expect the beginning of a • silver supercycle. The probability of entry is ‘very high’.
The global silver boom is gaining momentum.
Silver is still inexpensive to purchase.
The versatile demand for silver and its scarcity due to glaring production bottlenecks are continuously increasing its value.
The rare market phenomenon – All three trends are currently experiencing a simultaneous upswing with a lasting effect:
- Monetary demand is rising rapidly as more and more people are interested in reliably securing their savings. Silver is still undervalued compared to gold and, based on experience, is catching up.
- Industrial demand is reaching new records. Every new device – every chip, every sensor and every solar cell – draws silver from the market. The result is an increase in the value of silver.
- Military demand is massive, without attracting attention. According to analysts' findings, more silver is now being used in security technologies for military applications than in any other category, and is thus permanently lost to the market.
The jump in silver prices is by no means limited to certain regions. Rather, it is a global phenomenon fuelled by innovative developments in industry.
