When industrial demand meets inflation protection. The coming silver surge.

In this weeks market update:

Silver is currently trading near AUD $50 per troy ounce (oz), having risen from closer to AUD $35oz just over a year ago.

That is a return of over 40%, with the recent price strength putting silver “back on the map” for investors looking to allocate capital.

The surge in interest makes the just released ABC Bullion Silver Infographic all the more timely, with demand for the metal surging across our client base.

The Infographic, titled “Why Australian Investors Should Add Silver to Their Portfolio” explores five key drivers for the silver market. Combined, they make a compelling reason to allocate to silver in a portfolio, with the precious metal;

• Typically outperforming gold in periods of high inflation, with average returns in excess of 20% per annum in high inflation years.

• Benefitting from its dual role as both an industrial and monetary metal, with a range of applications seeing silver demand surge in the last decade.

• Positively correlated to a rising stock market, as we saw in 2024 when both equities and the silver price recorded very strong gains.

• Dramatically outperforming gold in prior precious metal bull markets, with average returns of more than 375%.

Last but by no means least, current market dynamics suggest silver remains extremely cheap relative to gold, with history suggesting it will strongly outperform between now and the end of this decade, should the overall precious metal bull market continue.
