Is there a real silver shortage in 2026?
With silver spot prices crossing the $80 mark after China’s recent export controls (Jan 1, 2026 policy), the precious metals market is in a state of high volatility. (Update: Silver crossed $99/ounce after this video published! Yes, the market is volatile!)
As a silver stacker and coin collector for over 30 years, I’m looking past the headlines to the structural deficit in physical silver bullion. Today's silver shortage is driven by a massive increase in industrial silver demand for renewables (solar photovoltaic cells), electric vehicle (EV) components, and AI data center hardware.
In this video, we discuss the "End of Easy Silver," why mining output can't keep up with the "sticky" silver supply, and even why your local coin shop can't pay spot silver prices, and it's not a scam. We cover: The exhaustion of above-ground silver stockpiles.
Why $80 (or $100/ounce) silver doesn't immediately increase silver mine production. The impact of China restricting silver exports on the global COMEX and London markets.
