The global precious metals market continues to see insatiable demand for physical silver.
全球貴金屬市場對實物銀的需求仍在不斷增長。
Thursday, U.K. Royal Mint reported a 540% increase in the bullion silver bar sales compared to last year.
英國皇家造幣廠週四報導，與去年相比，金條的銷售量增加了540％。
The Royal Mint also said that its one-ounce silver Britannia 2021 coin saw sales increase 100% between March and April, compared to last year.
皇家鑄幣局還表示，其一盎司的大不列顛2021年銀幣在3月至4月之間的銷量與去年相比增長了100％。
"We experienced high demand in 2020 as investors flocked to safe-haven assets during the height of the pandemic, but this demand has continued into 2021 as more people realize the benefits of precious metals," said Andrew Dickey, divisional director of precious metals at the mint. "Silver has a wide appeal because it has an intrinsic value as a finite resource and offers a significantly lower price than gold - making it accessible for more customers."
“ 2020年我們經歷了高需求，因為在疫情大流行高峰期間投資者紛紛湧向避險資產，但隨著越來越多的人意識到貴金屬的好處，這種需求一直持續到2021年，”鑄幣廠的安德魯·迪基（Andrew Dickey）說。“銀具有廣泛的吸引力，因為白銀具有作為有限資源的內在價值，並且價格遠低於黃金，從而使更多的客戶更容易接觸。”
Physical demand for silver took off in February this year after a group of traders, organized through social media, tried and failed to induce a short-squeeze in the marketplace. However, since then, analysts have said that silver demand remains strong, with investors looking to capitalize on the precious metals industrial demand as the global economy continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
在通過社交媒體組織的一群交易者試圖並未能引起市場的空頭壓榨之後，今年二月份對白銀的實物需求開始上升。然而，此後，分析師一直表示，白銀需求仍然強勁，隨著全球經濟繼續從COVID-19大流行中復蘇，投資者希望利用貴金屬的工業需求。
Other analysts have said that silver remains an attractive monetary metal and hedge against rising inflation pressures.
其他分析師表示，白銀仍然是一種有吸引力的貨幣金屬，可以對付不斷上升的通脹壓力。
"Many analysts predict a bright future for silver for the remainder of 2021. Accommodative monetary and fiscal policies - traditional drivers for demand in precious metals - are expected to remain in play as the economy continues to recover from the pandemic," said Dickey. "Furthermore, silver's use in emerging green technologies have also contributed to the positive sentiment towards the metal."
迪基說：“許多分析師預測白銀在2021年剩餘時間內的光明前景。隨著經濟繼續從大流行中恢復過來，寬鬆的貨幣和財政政策（傳統上對貴金屬需求的驅動力）有望繼續發揮作用。” “此外，白銀在新興的綠色技術中的使用也促進了人們對金屬的積極情緒。”
Strong investment demand for silver pushed prices to nearly a 2-month high last week to $28 an ounce. Although silver has fallen from its recent highs, the precious metal is still holding critical support. July silver futures last traded at $27.05 an ounce, down 0.5% on the day.
白銀的強勁投資需求上週將價格推升至近兩個月高點，至每盎司28美元。儘管白銀已從近期高位回落，但貴金屬仍保持關鍵支撐。 7月白銀期貨最新報27.05美元/盎司，當日下跌0.5％。
The Royal Mint said that this has rapid growth in the precious metals market over recent years. It is now the primary producer of bullion coins in the U.K.
皇家鑄幣局表示，近年來貴金屬市場增長迅速。現在，皇家鑄幣局是英國金銀硬幣的主要生產者。
The Royal Mint also said that it offers a range of digital investment platforms which enable investors to buy and sell fractional gold, silver and platinum without taking custody of the metal. All digital holdings are backed by physical bullion bars, which are stored in The Royal Mint's vault, it said.
皇家鑄幣局還表示，它提供了一系列數位投資平台，使投資者能夠在不保管金屬的情況下買賣部分黃金，白銀和鉑金。它說，所有的數字資產都有實體金條的支持，這些金條被存儲在皇家造幣廠的金庫中。
