Silver Rockets Toward $50: 2025 Price Surge, Drivers & What’s Next
Silver rose to $48 per ounce on October 5, its highest price since 2011, after surging 60% year-to-date. The metal is up 18% in the past month, outpacing gold’s gains, amid strong investor inflows and persistent supply deficits. Silver-backed ETFs saw record inflows, while futures net longs on COMEX more than doubled since late 2024. Supply has lagged demand for five consecutive years.
