It is becoming commonplace for silver to be in “backwardation” on commodities exchanges. That means the biggest buyers in the world are willing to pay a premium over and above the spot price so they can take delivery of silver while they can still get their hands on it. Customers want the precious metal right now, so they pay a premium to get their silver sooner, rather than later.

Mine output of silver is shrinking. Silver is a major by-product of copper, zinc, lead, and tin mining. Due to the decline in the world economy [collapse in manufacturing], mine output of industrial metals is being reduced. And America’s hundred-year-old government stockpile of 6 billion ounces of silver is completely gone.
