Silver ETFs slide as silver retreats from $83 record, rattling late-year buyers

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:30 ET Silver-backed funds slid on Monday after the metal reversed from fresh records. iShares Silver Trust (SLV) fell to about $65 and Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) traded below $24, each down about 8% by 10:18 a.m. ET, according to market data.
