Is Now The Time To ‘Buy The Dip’ In Silver Or Wait?

On Monday, silver took centre-stage rallying over 13% to hit $30 an ounce for the first time since 2013. That’s silver’s biggest one-day move since 2008.

Every explosive rally, is always followed by healthy profit-taking as seen towards mid-week.

Silver was already traders’ favourite last year as the precious metal rallied nearly 60%.

A combination of greater safe-haven demand, ultra-low real yields, as well as a stellar rebound in China’s economic activity in H2 2020, boosted both investment and industrial demand for the precious metal.

Goldman Sachs see silver prices rising to $33 an ounce in 2021 as U.S. President Joe Biden moves forward with his ambitious renewable energy plan.

Silver is a key component in two major technologies, which form President Biden’s renewable energy plan – Solar and 5G. Based on our proprietary research, photovoltaic demand for silver could exceed 3000 tonnes in 2021, while the 5G rollout – which is only just beginning – will be a major driver of demand for years to come.

Precious metals are starting to attract a lot of attention – on a scale not seen since the global financial crisis, but silver is the metal to watch closely.
