Are you stockpiling silver? The surge is crazy

On January 21, the international silver price once soared to $95.87 per ounce, an increase of over 200% from the beginning of last year. This round of silver market frenzy is faster than a rocket, but you might have forgotten that the position of silver in the modern industrial system has been seriously underestimated for too long.
In traditional perception, silver is a precious metal, a safe-haven asset, and a shadow of gold. But in the real industrial chain, it’s more like an invisible screw:
Low unit price, small consumption, but it’s used at all critical nodes—photovoltaic conductive layers, chip packaging, precision electronics, industrial contacts. Any disruption in supply at any link can cause unimaginable consequences.
The key issue is: silver always feels cheap and always available.
Now, with the rapid increase in photovoltaic costs and the squeezed profits in chip packaging, manufacturers are forced to redesign material structures. This leads to electronics becoming more expensive.
The US classifies silver as a critical mineral, essentially acknowledging: this metal is no longer a market issue, but an industrial security issue.
China’s quantitative management of export enterprises is not to raise prices, but to prevent the domestic manufacturing system from being pushed back by external demand.
Silver prices have skyrocketed, revealing that many things are irreplaceable.
Silver is not scarce; it’s just been pushed to its limits.
Silver is not the main character, but it’s stuck at the critical point.
