Silver's Soaring Demand: India's Record Imports

At Gold & Silver Standard, our firsthand experience in the bullion industry provides us with a unique vantage point. Recently, we've observed a discernible shift in consumer preference towards silver, a trend that's gaining traction globally, with India at the forefront.

India's role as a major consumer of silver is significant, representing approximately one-eighth of global demand. The latest data is particularly revealing, with India importing a record-breaking 1700 tonnes of silver in a single month of 2023. This surge is predominantly in bar form, diverging from the grain format typically favoured by manufacturers.

This pattern mirrors the notable silver rally of 2011, where prices escalated from $22 to $49 in a mere six months, alongside a substantial contraction in the gold-to-silver ratio (GSR) from 70 to 31. Presently, with the GSR lingering at 83, a similar trajectory could see dramatic increases in silver prices.

Silver's market behaviour is characterised by its tendency to trail behind gold, yet it often eclipses gold in performance during a rally. This inherent volatility in silver can present lucrative opportunities for astute investors when timed correctly – which some wise investors are speculating with below:
