The silver market is under stress globally as Indian demand surges ahead of Diwali while London vault liquidity tightens. Dealers report that some banks are unable to roll over silver loans, as borrowing rates have spiked to annualised levels of up to 200 %. This squeeze is driven by a combination of ETF accumulation (~100 million ounces year-to-date) and industrial demand, particularly for solar-photovoltaic applications. In India, retailers are reporting reduced coin and bar availability amid the rush. Analysts warn of potential knock-on effects for manufacturing and jewellery supply chains.
