Silver stocks in London vaults recorded their steepest monthly fall since records began in 2016, recent data from the London Bullion Market Association shows.
Holdings fell 8.6% in January to 23,528 tonnes, valued at approximately $23.9 billion, according to the LBMA’s monthly report. The decline comes despite silver’s USD value remaining unchanged month-to-month.
“Indeed, the pace of the outflow reflects the market functionality, albeit with delays,” the LBMA wrote in its report. “For silver, participants continue to closely watch blanket US tariff threats on key producing nations with concern.”
