The price of silver metal is the result of its supply and demand of that asset in Middle East market

In a free economy, the price of each asset is the result of the supply and demand of that asset. ‎For this reason, to study and analyze the Silver market, we must pay attention to the factors ‎affecting its supply and demand in the world. Despite a long history of silver mining, its ‎production and reserves are relatively limited. 

According to some estimates, the total amount ‎of silver mined throughout history is 1.5 million tons and the world's silver reserves are 29,665 ‎tons. In general, the annual supply of silver depends on the amount of mining and production. ‎Factors such as the invention of new mining methods, the closure of mines due to workers' ‎strikes, and ‎و‎ affect the annual production of silver. 

Any factor that reduces the production and ‎supply of silver, causes the price of silver to rise, and vice versa. The largest silver producers in ‎the world are Mexico, Peru, and China. As a result of monitoring and monitoring the amount of ‎extraction and the situation of mines in these countries, it is recommended to check the amount ‎of supply.‎

Factors affecting the demand for silver should be examined from four perspectives:

  1. Silver as a safe investment commodity‎
  2. Silver as Jewelry and decorative utensils
  3. Silver as a consumer good in the industry‎
  4. Silver as a safe investment commodity‎

Since silver is a safe commodity like gold, the factors that affect the price of Gold also affect ‎the price of silver, and it is necessary to consider these factors in analyzing the silver market. ‎The important factors affecting the world gold price are as follows:‎

Monetary Policy Adopted by the Federal Reserve
If the Federal Reserve decides to raise ‎interest rates, the price of gold and consequently the price of silver will fall. Also, if the ‎interest rate is reduced by the Federal Reserve, the price of gold (silver) will rise. Because by ‎lowering interest rates, the interest on bank deposits decreases and causes losses to investors. ‎As a result, people prefer to withdraw their capital from the bank and enter a safe market such ‎as gold and silver.‎

Economic information and data
Unemployment rate, wages, production rate, GDP growth ‎statistics, as economic data indicate the economic situation. If the figures related to these ‎parameters indicate an improvement in the economic situation, it will lead to a decrease in the ‎price of gold (silver) and vice versa. 

For example, a decrease in the unemployment rate, an ‎increase in production, and a growth in GDP (improvement of the economic situation) will lead ‎to a fall in the price of gold.‎

Inflation Rate
The higher the inflation rate, the more investors will be willing to buy gold ‎‎ (silver) to maintain the value of their assets. This increase in demand causes the price of gold ‎‎(silver) to rising and vice versa‎.

Dollar price fluctuations: The dollar is inversely related to gold (silver). If the US dollar index ‎strengthens following the improvement of the economic situation, the price of gold (silver) will ‎decrease and vice versa.‎

Economic instability: The greater the economic instability and uncertainty, the greater the ‎willingness to invest in safe goods. As a result, as the political and economic uncertainty ‎increases, the price of gold (silver) increases. For example, rising tensions between the United ‎States and North Korea are undermining economic stability and increasing the price of gold.‎

Silver as jewelry and decorative utensils
Silver jewelry and tableware account for approximately 25% of the annual demand for silver. ‎Like any other commodity, as the demand for silver jewelry increases, so does its price. The ‎use of silver as jewelry and decorative items is very common in India. As the demand for this ‎type of jewelry (wedding or celebration season) increases, so does the price of silver, and this ‎should be taken into account in the analysis of the silver market.‎

Silver as a commodity in the industry.
Approximately 50% of the annual supply of silver is used in industrial applications such as ‎electronics, solar energy and pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment. The higher the ‎economic growth of countries, the higher the demand for silver industrial consumption. There ‎is a direct relationship between the economic growth of developed countries and the price of ‎silver.‎
