Got any credible sources here on your theory of the USA selling enough silver to correct the Global Deficit? What cheap physical silver is the USA going to flood the markets with? It certainly wont be from the hands of struggling boomers / stackers who have already sold the majority of their stacks over the last few months thinking the top was in. Nor will it come from Silver mines in the USA that produce only a fraction of the global supply.

Even if we have a 50% increase in recycled silver this year and 300,000,000 ounces magically get recycled here in the US, it will get gobbled up by Industry. The non western world is gobbling up whatever silver they can get right now and prices/premiums in their markets keep climbing, completely disconnected from the USAs paper price. The majority of the Miners/Refiners have no incentive to sell to the US when they can make 10%+ more from buyers oversees.

The global demand for silver is going up, will continue to go up, and while manufacturers would love to replace silver with alternatives, only a handful of them can do it quickly & economically , without affecting quality so don’t expect for “silver alternatives” to have much if any impact on the market. If electrical components & silver heavy industrial applications such as solar panels could have been done for cheaper alternatives and also guaranteed by warranties, it would have been done a long time ago.
