Rising Demand for Silver Amid AI Advancements
In a recent interview, Peter Krauth, author of The Great Silver Bull, highlighted the rising demand for silver, especially because of advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and industrial uses. He pointed out that silver is crucial for technology and renewable energy, as it is needed for components in AI technologies like semiconductors. The market is facing a supply shortage due to dwindling silver stockpiles and difficulties in opening new mines, which could push prices higher. Although there have been large outflows from silver ETFs, Krauth noted that silver futures show institutional investors remain positive about silver. He believes silver could reach $100 per ounce or more by 2030, driven by strong demand and limited supply. Krauth also emphasized that the growth of AI will further increase the metal’s value as technology develops.
