"When gold jumps, silver soars. That's an old concept that could make investors a lot of money when precious metal prices rally. And in 2025, those prices are definitely on the move. Some folks like to hold silver bars and coins in hopes of a price rally, and that's fine but it's not always the most convenient solution. In conjunction with or as an alternative to owning physical silver, investors might consider buying exchange-traded funds (ETFs) such as the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:SIL)."
"According to the Silver Institute, silver plays important roles in the production of solar cells, computers, smartphones, electric vehicles, water purifiers, and more. Furthermore, since silver is less expensive than gold, silver's price has the potential to move faster during a precious-metals bull market. This idea appears to be playing out in 2025 so far; in dollar terms, as of Oct. 6, gold was up 52% year to date while silver gained 66.5%."
Silver often rallies more than gold during precious-metals bull markets, offering higher upside potential. Silver has extensive industrial applications, including solar cells, computers, smartphones, electric vehicles, and water purifiers. Exchange-traded funds such as Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) and Amplify Junior Silver Miners ETF (SILJ) provide convenient exposure as alternatives to physical bars and coins. Year-to-date through Oct. 6, gold rose about 52% while silver gained roughly 66.5%, reflecting strong 2025 momentum. A weaker U.S. dollar supports precious metals broadly, benefiting silver holders. Silver-related assets can be highly volatile, so investors should weigh risks and prepare for swift price moves both directions.
