Silver Prices Hit Records Amid Supply Deficits and Potential Market Volatility

Silver prices reached record highs in 2025 amid a persistent global physical supply deficit driven by strong industrial demand, particularly from sectors like solar and electric vehicles. Research from Motilal Oswal and HSBC highlights tightening inventories and delivery challenges, while Neo Wealth Management cautions that heavy leverage and volatile investment flows could trigger sharp price corrections, potentially pushing silver significantly lower despite solid long-term fundamentals.
