Silver is used in various industries, with one of its primary uses being in solar energy as a conductor for photovoltaic cells. The metal also has a variety of technological applications, including its use in 5G connectivity. It is expected that silver’s industrial demand will continue to grow, particularly as the shift to renewable sources of energy gains traction. In recent times, this industrial metal has also become a popular option for investment.

In the same period, coal imports from Australia also rose by almost 30%, with the increase being attributed to utilities restocking in preparation for power generation through the winter. The General Administration of Customs also released data showing coal shipments from Indonesia, most of which are under annual supply contracts, hit 18.3 million metric tons in November.

Several geopolitical factors coupled with investor fears of a war in the oil region have significantly increased gold’s safe-haven appeal in recent months and caused gold prices to rise. A weakening dollar coupled with a fall in treasury yields also caused gold prices to rebound even further, and by Dec. 20, 2023, spot gold was holding steady at $2,033.92 per ounce while gold futures were trading at $2,048.40.

Experts had predicted a surplus of the metal through the end of the year and into 2024; that surplus was expected to contribute to additional supply in the coming years.

Although the precious metal saw its performance falter in 2022 thanks to rising interest rates and a strong dollar, recent geopolitical events have significantly increased gold’s safe-haven appeal among investors.
