[Live Broadcast of Baiyin Conference] Economic Situation Analysis, Precious Metal Price Interpretation, Prospects for PV Applications, Sharing of Cutting-edge Technologies in the Industry

Supported by factors such as safe-haven demand, precious metals have generally been on an upward trend this year. Specifically, COMEX gold has risen by over 20% year-to-date, while COMEX silver has also seen an annual increase of over 10%!

As an important precious metal with both financial attributes and industrial value, silver not only plays a crucial role in asset preservation and diversified investment in the financial market, but also, due to its excellent electrical conductivity, efficient thermal conductivity, and unique antibacterial properties, has become an indispensable basic material in numerous fields, including precision components in the electronics industry, professional medical and healthcare equipment, core components of solar cells, and innovative materials for automobile manufacturing. With the growing global demand for renewable energy and high-tech products, the industrial application demand for silver has significantly increased!

On May 15-16, an industry event focusing on the future development of the silver industry, the 2025 SMM (6th) Silver Industry Chain Innovation Conference, hosted by SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. (SMM), was grandly held at the Sheraton Ningbo East Hotel in Zhejiang's Ningbo!
