Silver Leads the Way into 2025
Gone are the days when gold was the only standard by which investors planned the precious metals portion of their portfolios. As we stand on the threshold of 2025 numerous reports indicate that Silver leads the pack and is currently the top performer in the precious metals market – with a possibility, according to market analysts, of reaching a whopping $40 per ounce on the horizon.
Don’t just take our word for it though, recent data from the World Gold Council reveals that ‘’silver has emerged as the top performer in the precious metals sector, achieving an impressive 42.4% gain and surpassing its more prestigious counterpart, gold. This shift highlights a significant change in the metals market, driven by evolving industrial demands and reshaping traditional investment paradigms.’’
What is particularly interesting to note is that silver is now seen as a commodity which has a store of value, a role previously played only by gold, and its industrial applications, accounting for over 70% of its demand, continue to make it even more valuable.
Why the surge?
So why exactly does silver lead the way as we head into 2025? Let’s look at a few key factors…
- Increased industrial applications – these are, in fact, one of the reasons for the increase in silver performance with it being a crucial element in the manufacture of renewable energy products like solar panels etc.
