Globálne otepľovanie a striebro

Je globálne otepľovanie výhodou pre striebro? Určite áno. Striebro hrá dôležitú úlohu v nových technológiách, ktoré môžu zmenšovať negatívny efekt priemyselného a ekonomického rastu na zmenu klímy resp. na životné prostredie.

Does global warming have a positive impact on silver prices? Yes, according to SilverBuzzer, it is not just the growth in industrial use that is driving up silver demand and prices. Silver is used in a variety of technologies that can mitigate or, eventually, reverse the negative effects of global warming and climate change.

Silver has found a relevant role in the search for new technologies that can mitigate or, eventually, reverse the negative effects of industrialization and economic growth.

However, the supply of silver remains limited says JWB Aime, not only because of the metal’s scarcity, but also because of a limited number of silver mines. This means that an increased industrial application of silver will require the opening of new mines or increased capacity utilization at the existing metal mining facilities. According to some estimates, opening of new mines to produce silver increases the cost of silver by between $7 and $10 per ounce. This high cost of increasing the capacity of silver production suggests that price of silver can only be expected to rise as silver finds more uses in some of the most important industries, such as the automotive industry.

The noted disequilibrium between supply and demand—namely the expected shortage because of a more intensive application of silver—says a lot about silver’s price prospects and about the value of owning silver bullion as an investment. Apparently, even Warren Buffet decided to buy silver bullion and shares in some silver mining companies because of the favorable expectations about silver prices due to an increased demand for the scarce metal. Thus, investors who buy silver bullion will do the same as the “Oracle of Omaha”—see the value of their investment increase in the future.
