- ✓Increased capital expenditure guidance from hyperscalers and data center operators
- ✓Rising industrial demand metrics for silver in electronics manufacturing
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸Supply chain bottlenecks for other data center hardware like transformers could delay overall construction and silver demand
Hear it yourself
