SILVER weekly special report based on 1.00 Lot Calculation:
GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS ESCALATE:
- MIDDLE EAST TENSIONS RISE: US PRESIDENT TRUMP CONSIDERS OPTIONS TO SUPPORT IRANIAN PROTESTORS AS THE PROTEST ENTERS ITS 16TH DAY (JANUARY 12). Trump has stated that the US is closely monitoring the anti-government protests and is considering response options. Iran has warned it will retaliate if attacked by the US. On the streets, protestors could be heard calling for the overthrow of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the return of Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the former Shah.
- RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT WORSENS: RUSSIA RETALIATES AGAINST UKRAINE USING ORESHNIK MISSILES (JANUARY 9). Responding to Ukraine’s drone attack targeting Vladimir Putin’s residence in late December, Russia has used the intermediate-range ballistic missile “Oreshnik” as part of a massive overnight strike on Ukraine, about 60km from the Polish border. Geopolitical escalations increase safe-haven demand for silver.
- VENEZUELA TENSIONS RISE: US ARMY ATTACKS VENEZUELA WITH AIRSTRIKES, CAPTURING VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT MADURO (JANUARY 3). According to Reuters, after a coordinated land and air strike, the US military captured President Maduro. US President Trump has threatened harsh punishments for the new interim leader, Delcy Rodriguez, if compliance with the U.S. is ignored.
- GREENLAND ISSUE: US PRESIDENT TRUMP RENEWED PUSH TO ANNEX GREENLAND (JANUARY 8). According to Reuters, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio would meet leaders of Denmark this week (January 12 – January 17), but signaled no retreat from President Donald Trump's aim to take over Greenland as alarmed allies, including France and Germany, were working on a response.
EVENTS:
- TUESDAY, JANUARY 13 AT 13:30 GMT: US INFLATION (CPI) DATA (DECEMBER). US Inflation came in at 2.7% in November, below the previous 3%. This is its lowest reading since July 2025. Core Inflation also fell in November, coming in at 2.6% (vs. 3% expected and the previous 3%). It is its lowest reading since March 2021.
- WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14 AT 13:30 GMT: US RETAIL SALES (NOVEMBER). Because the US is a consumption-driven economy, this data is very important since it signals the overall health of the economy. If the data comes out low, it could point to more interest rate cuts by the FED, thus supporting silver prices. The results for the previous month stand at 3.47%, which is lower than the month before (4.18%).
SILVER MARKET: HIGHER DEMAND AMID SUPPLY SHORTAGES LEADS TO A WIDENING DEFICIT
- MARKET DEFICIT: SILVER MARKET REMAINS IN DEFICIT SINCE AT LEAST 2016. The silver market faced a deficit of around 300 million ounces in 2025, according to recent reports from The Silver Institute. While the market has been in deficit since 2016, the gap has grown significantly since 2022.
- SUPPLY CONSTRAINTS: SILVER PRODUCTION REMAINS AROUND 800 MILLION OUNCES PER YEAR. Annual production has held near 800 million ounces, remaining largely unchanged since 2016. There is no clear indication that output will be meaningfully higher in 2026 or the following years.
- DEMAND REMAINS STRONG: SOLAR PANELS, ELECTRIC VEHICLES, AND A.I. INFRASTRUCTURE. Silver demand is expected to increase in 2026 and beyond due to rising demand from solar production, electric vehicles, and rapidly expanding A.I. data center infrastructure.
SILVER MARKET: NEWS
- NEWS: CHINA ANNOUNCED EXPORT RESTRICTIONS STARTING IN 2026. According to Global Times, China will introduce a new export licensing system from 2026, potentially limiting silver exports. As China accounts for 13% of global production and 11% of exports, the move could tighten global silver supply.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
- SILVER PRICE HIT A NEW ALL-TIME HIGH ON JANUARY 12, 2025 ($84.567). Silver price has broken out to a new all-time high of $84.567, confirming the strong uptrend since the beginning of 2025, trading well above moving averages. The zone between $76 and $74 has now become silver’s new support area.
