US Military Could Boost Silver Demand

 silver

Summary:

  • The US Navy is constructing a giant solar farm in Arizona to power its bases in California. This is a push by the DOD to decrease its carbon footprint.
  • While this facility is being constructed by Sempra Energy, there is no guarantee that other facilities will be. Thus, silver could be a good way to play this development.
  • The construction of solar panels requires far more silver than any other current applications, which will undoubtedly increase demand.
  • Silver demand has exceeded supply for two years but the market price does not reflect this due to the dominance of the futures market.
  • This dominance may be about to change, which will cause the price of silver to surge upward to reflect actual fundamentals.
