Gold Is On Fire — But This More Common Metal Is Doing Even Better
There's no question that gold prices are having a moment. But there's another metal doing even better.

Silver is proving to be a metal worth watching even as all eyes are on gold. The iShares MSCI Global Silver & Metals Miners ETF ( SLVP) is the top-performing actively traded sector fund this year, up 141.2%, says Morningstar Direct. That edges out even the No. 1 gold miner ETF, VanEck Junior Gold Miner ETF ( GDXY), up 139.7%.

What's Driving The Precious Metals Boom: Gold And Silver?

Mayhem in Washington is setting up the perfect environment for precious metals. Investors want the security of tangible assets.

"The latest leg higher has been underpinned by the growing uncertainty over the U.S. government shutdown and fear-of-missing-out flows into physical gold ETFs," said Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist for LPL Financial. "A macro backdrop consisting of a weaker dollar, the resumption of the rate-cutting cycle, U.S. deficit concerns, tariff-related inflation angst, and steady foreign central bank buying have also supported the yellow metal's 50% rally this year."

Turnquist is bullish on silver going forward. "We recommend adding exposure on weakness given the degree of overbought conditions. Silver could also be another option in the space as it continues to gain relative strength over gold," he said.
