Silver Demand: Silver markets around the world are facing a serious crisis. You will be surprised to know that not America or London, but India is responsible for this turmoil regarding silver. On the occasion of Dhanteras, the massive buying of silver in India shook the silver markets across the world.

Vipin Raina, Trading Head, MMTC-Pamp India Pvt, believes that this year huge demand for silver was seen on Dhanteras. The situation is such that the stock of silver has been exhausted.

This video of his also went viral.

You will be surprised to know that due to the high demand for silver in India and holidays in China, dealers turned to London, but there too the silver vaults were found empty.

Many big banks started shying away from telling the price of silver. JP Morgan Chase, the largest supplier of silver to India, has also told that now new delivery is not possible in October. Now we will have to wait till November only.

Silver price crashed

This impact of silver shortage also affected investment funds. SBI Mutual Fund, Kotak Asset Management and UTIAMC banned new subscriptions in silver funds. Amidst all this, silver prices reached its all-time high level of $54 per ounce.
