Silver’s Surge: Outshining Gold in 2025

Silver is commanding investor attention in 2025 with a 32% year-to-date rally, eclipsing gold’s 27% gain. Industrial demand and ETF inflows are driving momentum, positioning silver as a breakout asset akin to cryptocurrencies in the metals space.

Technical indicators reinforce the bullish case. Silver breached $35/oz resistance—a 13-year high—with chart patterns mirroring historic breakouts. The gold-silver ratio’s decline to the mid-90s signals further upside potential.

Industrial applications anchor silver’s demand thesis. Green tech and electronics account for 60% of consumption, with H1 2025 ETF inflows hitting 95 Moz. Forecasts show industrial demand surpassing 700 Moz against modest 2% supply growth, tightening inventories like crypto’s scarcity dynamics.

Institutional interest is accelerating. Global silver ETP holdings approach 1.13 billion ounces, fueled by record inflows including ₹20 billion from India in June alone.
