Silver prices have doubled year-to-date, outpacing gold's 60% surge, as investors pivot from fiat to hard assets. The metal's unique conductivity makes it indispensable for EVs, solar panels, and electronics—but dwindling inventories signal a supply crisis. Mexico, Peru, and China, the top producers, face operational hurdles, leaving no central bank backstop for shortages.

Meanwhile, thin-margin industries grapple with cost pressures as the market strains under speculative ETF flows and mining bottlenecks. Unlike gold, silver lacks systemic liquidity buffers, amplifying volatility risks.
