Group 4: Future Outlook - The World Silver Association forecasts a 21% reduction in the global silver supply-demand gap by 2025, driven by a 1% decrease in demand and a 2% increase in total supply [6]. - Analysts suggest that the silver market may experience price volatility due to potential policy changes and technical corrections, with a possible short-term price pullback of 5% to 10% [7]. - Long-term projections indicate that the gold-silver ratio may have upward momentum, with expected trading ranges for silver prices between $36 and $35 per ounce in the upcoming quarters [7].
