The thing is, it’s not just “wedding season” demand anymore. There’s a whole storm of global messiness driving this. Let’s be real, when the U.S. detains a head of state—like Venezuela’s President Maduro—and starts talking about asset seizures, everyone with money gets twitchy. That’s exactly what happened this week.

And here’s the kicker: Silver is moving even faster. It’s up nearly 2% today.8 Why? Because it’s not just a “poor man’s gold” anymore. It’s in every solar panel, every EV battery, and every AI server being built.
