Silver Prices Rise Amid Supply Deficit and Industrial Demand; Hindustan Zinc Gains
Silver prices have surged globally and in India, driven by a persistent supply deficit and rising industrial demand, including uses in data centers, AI, solar energy, and electric vehicles. The US Treasury's increased bond buybacks and geopolitical tensions have also influenced market dynamics. Hindustan Zinc, India's leading integrated silver producer and among the top global miners, is highlighted as a key stock benefiting from this trend. Despite price volatility, silver remains both an industrial metal and a safe-haven asset attracting investor interest.
