00:00 From the beginning of the year, investors were focusing on the gold markets, especially the metal markets,
00:08 especially with the federal stimulus to lower interest rates.
00:12 Indeed, last week, gold reached levels that were very close to $2,200.
00:18 These levels, which for some investment banks were expected in the second half of the year,
00:24 we reached them in March, at the beginning of this year.
00:27 But the highs we saw in gold, the light beam, on another metal,
00:33 which is not only a precious metal, but it is also an industrial metal,
00:37 which is silver.
00:39 5% of the highs of the spot silver last week.
00:43 Yes, we saw these highs in conjunction with the highs we saw in gold historically.
00:49 There is always a kind of lag or delay between the highs of gold
00:54 and its reflections on the highs of silver.
00:57 These highs that we saw for metals were mainly with the investors' haste
01:03 that time was approaching before the US federal government started lowering interest rates.
01:09 Economic data, statements that we heard from Jerome Powell
01:12 that the federal government is close to reaching 2% inflation at target levels,
01:19 raised significantly the possibility that the federal government will start lowering interest rates
01:24 starting in June.
01:26 Data from the US labor market, which showed a kind of lag and cooling in the labor market,
01:31 also supported these sentiments, and this was the effect.
01:36 Silver is not only a precious metal, it is also an industrial metal.
01:42 It enters the car sector, the solar panels sector,
01:48 the electronics sector, and therefore when we talk about the start of central banks
01:53 by lowering interest rates and how it is possible to reflect this on the economy,
01:57 this also gives the bulk of silver.
02:01 If we look at the industrial purposes that it is possible to use gold in
02:07 and the expectations of these sectors for this year,
02:09 if we really start to see an economic collapse with the lowering of interest rates,
02:14 this means that gold will not be the only bright star during this year,
02:18 but silver may also be.
02:21 The Institute of Silver expects that the global demand for this metal will be recorded
02:25 as 1.2 billion ounces by 2024.
02:30 There are many studies that indicated that the demand will be even higher
02:34 if we see a lower interest rate during this year.
02:39 So gold is not only the only metal that should be focused on during this year,
02:45 silver may also be a winner in terms of gold prices and the general economic environment.
