While industrial silver demand from emerging markets was strong in 2011, Walter de Wet, strategist in London for South African bullion and investment bank Standard Bank, warns that China's new demand for silver "is not very strong at the moment," highlighting a sharp decline in Shanghai premiums -- over and above the London price, which acts as the world benchmark -- down from as much as $5 per ounce last summer to below 50 cents in February.
Standard Bank argues that Chinese warehouses currently hold enough silver to meet the country's industrial demand for 15 months. That surplus has risen sharply from 12 months' worth in 2011.
