What Happened to Silver in 2003?
Silver jumped 25% in 2003 as the Iraq War drove safe-haven demand, the US dollar fell sharply, and the commodity supercycle gained momentum. Warren Buffett had disclosed large silver holdings in 1998, which remained a backstory in investor discussions. Chinese industrial demand began to structurally shift commodity markets.
