​​What’s Next for Silver? Real Reason Behind Silver's Price Manipulation, Deficit Outlook - Neumeyer

Jeremy Szafron, Anchor at Kitco News, interviews Keith Neumeyer, CEO of First Majestic Silver, at the Rick Rule Symposium in Boca Raton. Neumeyer discusses the critical industrial importance of silver in applications like electronics and solar panels, and he explains the reasons behind its price manipulation by major trading desks. He highlights the alarming 240 million ounce deficit in the silver market and how this imbalance could drive prices higher. Neumeyer also addresses the absence of institutional investors in the silver market and their potential impact if they become involved. Additionally, he shares his bullish outlook on silver reaching triple-digit prices, the significance of the mining ratio of silver to gold, and his optimism about the new administration in Mexico's mining policies. Lastly, Neumeyer predicts a major bull market in commodities, led by gold and followed by silver.

Keith Neumeyer is a calm voice in an often hyped up investment space reiterating that there is no reason that $30.00 should be a limit for silver -- not when a fast-food lunch costs $15.00.

[@KeepOnTheRightPath]

The problem with silver is that it is mostly a by-product of zinc/lead/copper/gold mining and not a determining factor of project economics in a lot of cases. This is one reason the price is low. Having said that, as demand increases, the silver miners will start to play a critical role in the supply but repricing silver to make silver mines economic will be needed. Why do you think China is gobbling up silver at an alarming rate? They use silver in manufacturing. Their economy would crash without it and so they are picking it all up at a discount. The west can't use it like China bcs the west gave away their manufacturing sector over the past 25 years. Western folk would do well buying silver as a form of wealth given it's price will rise over time due to future shortages.

Being cautious the will wait for confirmation before following Sam Duncan Miller pivot from Tech into Newmont etc. patience!

[@mattc6457]

Newmont is going to crush next earnings call. Looking forward to the results $$

[@888strummer]

Silver is both a hedge against the US dollar and an industrial metal. But Wall Street does not see silver this way even if they should. And so silver is ONLY at it's best when the US economy and the US dollar are at their weakest. Wall Street is clueless and ONLY sees silver as a hedge against the dollar and the US economy and so for now; this is really the only reason to invest in silver

[@notgunnadoit7461]

I'm really curious if over time we look back and see this "silver deficit" Is there really one? Also so many uses for silver and the products we make with silver are in huge demand rockets, space, medical, solar or power generation, EVs. Als I don't know of any new silver mines or cheaper process to produce silver. Not to mention this coming collapse in fiat across the globe. Sooo much printing and inflation. Also the loss of faith in the dollar is coming. Hmm Just a very long play being in silver.

Silver , no one other than stackers really want the price higher ,everything would have to go up in price, China probably the biggest user don’t want high prices think how much solar panels would cost , military uses in missiles, talking about it won’t change it , the metal they consider for value is gold !
