Industrial Use of Silver Reviving
Industrial silver demand is recovering after a decline earlier this year. Experts expect consumption for industrial use to reach about 85 million ounces this year, following 105 million ounces last year and a wartime high of 120 million ounces in 1944. The Silver Users association notes summer reductions but an expected year end rebound.
