By that measure, we\u2019ve seen record deficits in recent years \u2014 on the order of 200 to 250 million ounces annually from 2021 through 2024. They attribute the shortfall to drawdowns from above-ground inventories \u2014 coins, bars, LBMA vaults, and COMEX stocks. It\u2019s a straightforward message: new supply isn\u2019t keeping pace with demand, so we\u2019re eating into existing stockpiles.<\/p>\n<p>CPM Group looks at the same market through a different lens. They count those above-ground stocks as part of total supply, along with less visible flows like melted silverware, industrial scrap, and private holdings. In their framework, as long as those sources can be tapped, the market is balanced \u2014 there\u2019s no \u201ctrue\u201d deficit. What the Silver Institute calls a shortage, CPM calls disinvestment.<\/p>\n<p>Who\u2019s right? In a way, both are. The Silver Institute measures current mine and recycling output against current demand \u2014 the metric most investors are familiar with. CPM takes a system-wide view, including all above-ground reserves, which delays the point at which the market tips into an actual shortage.<\/p>\n<p>From an investor\u2019s standpoint, here\u2019s the takeaway: if the Silver Institute is right, we\u2019re drawing down the pantry every year. If CPM is right, the pantry is still stocked \u2014 but eventually, those shelves will be bare. When that happens, we\u2019ll see the kind of price moves that only occur when supply can\u2019t meet demand. That\u2019s the moment to prepare for \u2014 and the reason I continue to see silver as one of the most compelling opportunities in the resource space.<\/p>\n<p>Watch this video on The Reality Behind the Silver Deficit Headlines, then please share with your friends and family on social media and use the caption: The Reality Behind the Silver Deficit Headlines.<br \/>\n<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"sc-tabs-wrap\"><ul class=\"sc-tabs\"><li class=\"active\"><a href=\"#\" data-id=\"1\">Trading Recommendations<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" data-id=\"2\">Save In Silver<\/a><\/li><\/ul><ul class=\"sc-tabs-panes\"><li id=\"sc-pane-1\" class=\"active\">Market Analysis &#8212; Investing &#8212; Trading Methods At The Morgan Report &#8212; Starting As Low As $50 | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themorganreport.com\/join\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.themorganreport.com\/join<\/a><\/b>. <\/li>\n<li id=\"sc-pane-2\">Starting your own precious metals savings program is an easy way to automatically save in gold and silver.
