Silver soars to record highs

Silver has hit a record high of $52.47 an ounce – its first since 1980 – and is attracting investor interest in both silver stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). With a 73% rise this year, silver has become one of 2025’s top-performing assets, outpacing gold and the Nasdaq Composite Index, both of which have also set new highs this month.

Investor interest in precious metals

Silver is being seen as a haven from inflation, geopolitical concerns, expensive stock markets, and declining interest rates. Its gains, similar to the Nasdaq, are driven by interest in artificial intelligence (AI), electric vehicles, and the energy transition, resulting in a demand surge.

Investment outlook

Analysts view Unico Silver, known for its high-quality assets in Argentina, as a buy due to acquisition potential by a larger mining company.

For simpler silver exposure, analysts suggest Global X Physical Silver, which provides an easy way to own silver without storage and insurance issues. Analysts suggest buying on dips, given the global trend toward electrification and moves away from the US dollar.
