Why silver prices are rising is no longer just a question for precious-metal enthusiasts — it’s a major issue for investors, manufacturers, and global markets. In this episode, host Tom Wheelwright sits down with Michael DiRienzo, President and CEO of The Silver Institute, to explain what is driving silver’s performance and why institutions are paying attention.

Silver serves two roles at the same time: industrial material and investment asset. Tom and Michael break down how demand from solar panels, electronics, and advanced manufacturing continues to expand while mine supply struggles to keep pace. This imbalance reshapes commodity pricing and creates long-term implications for inflation, production costs, and portfolio diversification.

You will learn:

• The economic forces pushing silver demand higher
• Why industrial usage now drives precious metals markets
• How institutional investors view silver differently from gold
• The role of silver in energy transition and technology
• What future supply shortages could mean for prices

Michael DiRienzo explains how global industry increasingly depends on silver as a strategic resource. He also discusses why investors watch silver as both a monetary hedge and a growth-sensitive commodity.

This topic matters now because rising manufacturing demand, energy infrastructure, and monetary uncertainty all converge in the silver market. Understanding these forces helps investors evaluate commodities, inflation protection, and portfolio strategy in a changing economic environment.
