Group 3: Supply and Demand Dynamics - The silver market is facing a supply shortage for the fifth consecutive year, driven by rising demand for clean energy technologies, such as solar panels [6]. - There has been a continuous inflow of funds into silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs), marking the longest streak of inflows since 2020 [6].
