    Industrial silver demand set a record last year, but despite the increase in offtake, overall silver offtake declined by 3 percent to 1.16 billion ounces, primarily due to weak investment demand.

    Silver jewelry demand grew by 3 percent to 208.7 million ounces in 2024.

    The Silver Institute reported that improving exports to key Western countries also lifted silver jewelry demand.

    Growth in demand for silver jewelry will likely contribute to increasing overall demand, putting further pressure on already limited silver supplies.

    Pan American Silver’s shares slumped Monday in the wake of the Canadian miner’s move to buy smaller producer MAG Silver in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $2.1 billion.

    In morning trading, the shares were 14% lower at C$32.61 in Toronto and down 15% at $23.17 on the New York Stock Exchange. MAG Silver in contrast jumped 8.1% to C$25.49, widening its advance so far this year to 30%.

    The deal between the Vancouver, British Columbia, companies will bolster Pan American’s position as a silver-and-gold producer in the Americas and add a stake in a big producing silver mine in Mexico. The agreement comes after precious-metals prices have rallied this year, encouraging a number of mergers and acquisitions among mining companies.
