Extended read
Silver prices have seen a dramatic correction, falling from a January peak of $115/oz to $58/oz. This 50% decline is largely attributed to shifting investor sentiment regarding the immediate scale of AI data center infrastructure spending. Despite the price drop, long-term projections remain robust. McKinsey estimates that global data center spending could reach $7 trillion by 2030, which would significantly increase industrial demand for silver used in high-performance computing components. The current price level is being viewed by some as a potential 'buy the dip' opportunity, though volatility remains high.
