Why the Global Silver Market May Never Be the Same Again

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, examines whether the global silver market is entering a historic turning point. For decades, some analysts have argued that silver prices have been heavily influenced by paper trading, derivatives, and leveraged futures contracts rather than physical supply and demand. Now, new physically settled silver trading infrastructure is emerging across Asia, raising questions about whether the traditional pricing mechanisms dominated by Western exchanges could be losing influence. Could silver finally begin trading more on real scarcity and industrial demand? What happens if physical settlement becomes more important than paper contracts? And what does this mean for investors as demand from AI, electrification, solar energy, semiconductors, and defense industries continues to grow? Michelle explores the growing debate around silver price discovery, the rise of alternative precious metals exchanges in Asia, and the broader shift toward a more multipolar financial system.
