Silver Supply and Demand
Silver Mining Production Increases In 2015
Rory and I discussed reports from Societe Generale and the CPM Group and the Mexican government that indicate that silver mining production increased in 2015.* Others say silver mining production decreased last year. We determined that whether silver mining production increased or decreased in 2015, is largely irrelevant because demand is outpacing supply. In addition, Societe General, the CPM Group and Mexican Government project silver mining production will decline in 2016.
