- PAAS was up about 4.5% in premarket trade, tracking a surge in silver.
- Silver futures climbed roughly 6% early Monday as investors piled into hard assets.
- Pan American’s next big scheduled catalyst is its Feb. 18 results, with conferences later this month.
Pan American Silver Corp shares rose 4.5% in U.S. premarket trading on Monday, lifting the stock to $56.70 as precious metals ripped higher. Public
Silver hit fresh records as investors rushed into “hard” assets after headlines around a criminal probe involving Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and a sharper geopolitical backdrop. “With the Fed’s independence now openly contested,” investors were shifting toward hard assets, said Zain Vawda, an analyst at MarketPulse by OANDA.

Silver futures were last up about 6% on CME’s Globex session early Monday. That matters for miners because revenue is tied to the metal price, while costs don’t move in lockstep — a setup that can amplify gains and losses in the share price. CME Group
Pan American ended the last regular U.S. session on Friday up 2.2% at $54.27, after trading between $53.32 and $54.79, according to Yahoo Finance data. Yahoo Finance
The move looked sector-wide. Hecla Mining, First Majestic Silver and Coeur Mining were all higher in early indications, and the Global X Silver Miners ETF also rose.

For Pan American, investors are now looking past the open and toward scheduled checkpoints. The company is due at the CIBC Western Conference on Jan. 21-23 and TD Cowen’s global mining conference on Jan. 27-29, and it has its fourth-quarter and year-end 2025 financial results set for Feb. 18.

A lot will come down to how much of Monday’s metal move sticks. Silver has a habit of gapping higher, then giving it back when volatility spikes and traders take profit.
There’s also the company-specific risk investors can’t hedge with a futures contract: mining costs, operational hiccups and permitting or tax surprises across the jurisdictions where it operates. If the metal cools while costs stay hot, margins compress fast.
