Silver: price fall will ultimately tame supply growth

Today’s global economic slowdown is curtailing fabrication demand further at a time when main-, co-, and by-product mining is in the midst of a supply boom.  Having generated modest surpluses in 2004-07, the market is set to register a surplus of over 3,000 tonnes in 2008.  And, although fabrication demand should recover strongly in 2010-13 alongside a gathering economic recovery, large surpluses will then still be generated if growth in mine supply goes unchecked.  Lower prices will be needed to ensure that a sufficient tranche of production cuts occurs in order for the market to begin returning to balance by 2013.
