Structural Stress Fuels the Silver Surge
-

Analysts attribute silver’s historic breakout to a mix of safe-haven demand, expectations of Fed rate cuts, tightening physical markets, and booming industrial use. Firms like Citigroup and industry leaders such as Keith Neumeyer of First Majestic Silver have suggested silver could move beyond $100 per ounce in the coming months.
Meanwhile, futures-market mechanics are adding fuel. Margin hikes at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange are pressuring short positions tied to physical delivery, forcing faster covering and widening the gap between paper contracts and real metal.
