For the past 16 years CPM Group has hosted a Silver Reception on the opening evening of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada’s (PDAC) annual convention. PDAC’s shift to an online conference provided us with the opportunity to host a Silver Webinar instead, expanding our audience globally, and reaching more people than we would have had the conference been in person.
The past year has seen tremendous changes and developments in the silver market. Some of these changes have been related to the three major global problems: the pandemic, the accompanying economic lockdown and recession, and the ongoing dysfunctional political systems both globally and in many countries. Others are specific to developments in the silver and gold markets, reflecting transformational long-term changes in market structure and liquidity, rapidly shifting investor attitudes, changes in bullion banking trading patterns, and changes in exchange traded fund trading patterns. The attempted squeeze in January and why it did not work, as well as its implications for silver going forward. All of this, and CPM Group’s 2021 outlook was discussed in the Silver Webinar and accompanying Silver Report.
