涨势远超黄金！白银年内已涨近110%！发生了什么？

Group 1 - Silver prices surged past $60 per ounce on December 9, reaching a historical high, driven by multiple factors including rising expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, global supply tightness, and inclusion in the U.S. "critical minerals" list [1] - Year-to-date, silver has increased nearly 110%, outperforming both gold and platinum [1] - As of the report, spot silver was priced at $61.21 per ounce, with a daily increase of 0.94% [1] Group 2 - In comparison, gold has also risen by 60% this year, surpassing $4,200, but its growth rate is still less than that of silver, resulting in the gold-silver ratio dropping below 70 for the first time since July 2021 [3] - The core catalyst for the current silver price increase is the repricing of interest rates and policy expectations, with the Federal Reserve initiating a new round of easing since September and reducing the federal funds rate to a range of 3.75% to 4.00% [5] - Market expectations indicate an 85% probability of further rate cuts in December, influenced by statements from key Federal Reserve officials and weak economic data [5] Group 3 - Analysts note that silver possesses both financial and commodity attributes, benefiting from a macro environment of liquidity easing, which supports its strong performance [7] - A global decline in silver inventories has led to noticeable supply tightness in the spot market, with recent trends showing a premium for physical silver in Europe and tightness in the domestic silver market [7] - The current high gold-silver ratio suggests significant potential for correction, while increasing demand from industrial sectors like photovoltaics supports silver prices [7]
