NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 04:29 ET — Premarket
- Vizsla Silver was down 1.9% at $5.81 in premarket trading, after a $5.92 prior close.
- Spot silver slid to about $75 an ounce after hitting a fresh record above $83 earlier in the session, Reuters reported.
- Traders are watching this week’s Federal Reserve minutes for clues on the rate outlook that has helped fuel precious-metals gains.
Vizsla Silver Corp shares fell 1.9% to $5.81 in U.S. premarket trading on Monday, after closing at $5.92 in the prior session, market data showed.
The move matters because the stock often tracks silver prices, which have turned sharply volatile after a run to record highs that pulled more money into the sector.
Investors are also bracing for this week’s release of minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting, a potential driver of rate expectations that can swing demand for non-yielding assets such as precious metals.
Spot silver slipped 4.6% to $75.47 an ounce after touching an all-time high of $83.62 earlier on Monday, Reuters reported.
“Profit-taking and peace-talk optimism put gold and silver on the back foot,” said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. Reuters
The pullback followed a powerful run late last week. Silver rose 9% on Friday to a record high of $78.53 an ounce, Reuters reported.
Premarket trading is a thin, extended-hours session before the 9:30 a.m. ET U.S. market open, which can exaggerate moves as fewer shares change hands.
Vizsla Silver, a Canada-based explorer and developer, is advancing its flagship Panuco silver-gold project in Mexico’s Sinaloa state.
The company’s latest news release was on Dec. 18, when it said it agreed to acquire 10 mining claims around Panuco from Fresnillo-linked Minera Fresnillo for $2 million in cash and $4 million in shares.
Vizsla said the claims package totals 2,378 hectares and includes “strategic” ground adjacent to its project that could cover extensions of known mineralized structures. Vizsla Silver Corp.
Earlier in December, the company said it filed a technical report and feasibility study under Canada’s NI 43-101 mining disclosure rules, an engineering and economic assessment used to evaluate whether a mine should be built.
That feasibility study outlined average annual production of 17.4 million ounces of silver-equivalent over an initial 9.4-year mine life, with an after-tax net present value — a discounted estimate of future cash flows — of about $1.8 billion, the company said.
With year-end liquidity thin, traders will be watching whether silver stabilizes after its record swing, and whether Fed minutes on Tuesday alter the rate-cut narrative that has powered metals demand into the final week of the year.
