Silver Faces Volatility after Shattering All Time Records in Early Year

Industrial Squeeze

The primary driver of silver's gains remains a severe shortage in deliverable supply. New export licensing rules in China have restricted global physical availability just as demand from the renewable energy sector peaks.

Technical Support Watch

Traders are watching the $85.00 level as primary support. Analysts suggest that current consolidation is healthy, allowing the market to absorb the recent 20% year-to-date surge before attempting a move toward $100.
