I tassi di leasing dell&#39;argento hanno superato il 6%, segnale di possibile breakout simile al platino. Analisti evidenziano rally imminente.

Argento si prepara a un potenziale breakout grazie all&#39;aumento dei tassi di leasing

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/peter-schiff">Peter Schiff is back</a> with a golden prophecy—and this time, he thinks Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holders are going to pay for it.
According to Schiff, the long-time gold advocate and crypto critic, we're nearing "another big leg up" in gold and silver, one that could finally jolt Wall Street out of its digital daze and back into the arms of precious metals. And the kicker?

He believes the first wave of capital flooding into gold and silver stocks will come straight from the crypto crowd.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold's Steady Climb Vs. Bitcoin's Flashy Bounce</h2>
It's not an entirely far-fetched notion. Gold is quietly having a banner year. Spot gold (XAUUSD) is up 29.62% year-to-date and 41.55% over the past 12 months—numbers that would typically dominate headlines if not for the louder, more volatile presence of Bitcoin. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), which invests in spot gold, has consequently witnessed a similar surge.
Bitcoin, by comparison, has surged 75.64% over the past year, including a 16.56% pop just in the last month. Year-to-date, BTC is up 27.69%. Matching the surge are Bitcoin-tracking ETFs such as the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) (up 22.28% YTD), the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>) (+22.17% YTD) and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>) (+21.19% YTD).
But Schiff argues that crypto's rally is nearing exhaustion and that some profit-taking could soon fund a rotation into "real" assets.
This isn't just a macro rant. Schiff's timing is aligning with growing chatter among institutional investors about gold's role as a geopolitical hedge &#8211; especially as central banks continue their buying spree and global tensions simmer.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Miners Could Be The Real Jackpot</h2>
Schiff doesn't just want you stacking gold bars—he's eyeing the miners. He believes gold and silver mining stocks are poised to surge in lockstep with the metals themselves, a move that could finally draw Wall Street&#8217;s attention. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>), the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDXJ#NYSE">GDXJ</a>) and the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIL#NYSE">SIL</a>) are popular ways to get exposure to gold and silver miner stocks.
While mining stocks have lagged in recent years, they tend to outperform when gold breaks out—and Schiff is betting this is one of those times.
Whether you buy into Schiff's anti-crypto stance or not, the idea of Bitcoin profits fueling the next gold rush is gaining traction. And if he&#8217;s right, the digital gold could soon be paying for the real stuff.

Peter Schiff Says Gold's About To Explode—And Bitcoin Will Foot The Bill

As silver prices reach levels not seen in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/07/46374536/wall-street-today-trump-eu-tariffs-gold-rallies-silver-bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">almost 14 years</a>, investors are not only stocking up on bars, but they&#8217;re also loading up on silver ETFs at a record pace. And the game is no longer about price momentum. Structural changes in demand, constricting physical supply, and gold&#8217;s rapidly unaffordable glamour are pointing capital toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs linked to silver</a>, the &#8220;poor man&#8217;s gold&#8221; that&#8217;s now enjoying a rich run.
Silver ETFs added more than 2,570 tons of the metal since February, Bloomberg data shows, and they are playing a central role in the most recent supply squeeze. The effect has been so sharp that it&#8217;s now tightening the physical silver market in London, the main vaulting center for ETF holdings, and driving borrowing rates for the metal to more than 6%, an astonishing spike from their typical near-zero level.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Buyers At The Forefront</h2>
While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/silver">physical silver markets </a>are constrained, silver ETFs are the investment of choice for both retail and institutional investors seeking to enjoy the rally. Let&#8217;s see how the top players compare:
iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>)
The heavy hitter in the silver ETF space, SLV, holds over 474 million ounces of silver and manages nearly $18 billion in assets under management (AUM). It follows the price of silver by maintaining physical bullion in vaults, providing a low-friction means to get exposure without the hassles of storage.
Why it matters: The largest and most liquid silver ETF, SLV, frequently serves as a barometer of investor sentiment towards the metal. The fund is up almost 30% this year so far.
Aberdeen Standard Physical Silver Shares ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIVR#NYSE">SIVR</a>)
SIVR follows essentially the same approach as SLV, owning fully allocated physical silver, but draws more budget-price-conscious investors. At an expense ratio of 0.30%, versus SLV&#8217;s 0.50%, it has slowly gained a niche.
Why it&#8217;s important: Lower costs become more appealing in a high-inflation world where even slight differences in interest rates matter. Like SLV, the fund is up 30% so far this year.
Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIL#NYSE">SIL</a>)
Those who want silver exposure but prefer the equity approach can achieve it via SIL, which offers access to a portfolio of international silver mining firms, including Fresnillo (OTCPK: FNLPF), Pan American Silver (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NYSE">PAAS</a>), and Hecla Mining (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HL#NYSE">HL</a>).
Why it matters: Although mining stocks provide leverage to silver prices, they also carry company-specific and geopolitical risks. SIL is rising sharply this year as silver miners benefit from the bull run. The fund is up a good 53.5% this year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Driving The Demand?</h2>
A variety of forces are driving investor demand:
Relative value: Silver remains trading below its historic ratio to gold. At an 86 gold-to-silver ratio, silver could be undervalued, given that the number averages nearer to 80 over the past decade.
Trade tensions: The most recent round of threats of tariffs between the U.S. and Mexico, the globe&#8217;s leading silver producer, raised concerns about potential supply interruptions.
Industrial demand: Silver is an essential input for solar panels and electronics, making it have a special dual identity, both a precious metal and an industrial commodity.
Supply deficit: The Silver Institute estimates a fifth straight year of market deficit in 2025, as cited by Bloomberg, further solidifying the long-term investment thesis.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bigger Picture For ETF Flows</h2>
This year&#8217;s rally has transformed silver ETFs from quiet portfolio diversifiers into high-conviction trades. While gold ETFs have mostly recorded flat to negative inflows due to high prices and risk-off central bank sentiment, silver ETFs are attracting new money, courtesy of their lower entry price and more compelling upside story.
If silver continues to outpace gold, as it has to date in 2025, the pace of ETF flows will gain even more momentum, particularly for retail investors seeking exposure without exceeding their budgets.
Silver does not have the bling of gold, perhaps, but in the world of ETFs, it&#8217;s stealing the spotlight right now. Tightening physical supply and increasing investor appetite have turned silver ETFs from supporting actors to protagonists in the commodity resurrection.

Silver ETFs Just Crashed Gold's Party— And Took The Cake

Silver's not just glittering &#8211; it's surging. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/silver">The white metal</a> rocketed past $35.60 an ounce Thursday, a level last seen in 2012, and gold bull Peter Schiff says it's just warming up. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I love the smell of a precious metals rally in the morning. Gold is above $3,400, but silver and platinum are up 4%. Not only is silver above $35, it&#39;s about to take out $36, trading at its highest level since Dec. 2012. This train has left the station and there&#39;s no stopping it!
&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1930582432270741827?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 5, 2025</a></blockquote>

"This train has left the station and there's no stopping it," Schiff posted on X, noting silver's push to $36 and a 4% jump in early action.
While gold flirted with $3,400, it was silver that stole the spotlight, driven by a perfect storm of weak U.S. economic data, rising geopolitical tensions, and intensifying expectations of a Fed rate cut in September. The latest ADP report showed the weakest job growth since March 2023, and the ISM Services PMI fell into contraction territory <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45788298/asia-markets-mixed-europe-gains-gold-inches-toward-all-time-high-global-markets-today-while-us-slept">for the first time</a> in nearly a year &#8211; fueling bets that the Fed will have little choice but to ease.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Doves And Trade Tensions Fan The Fire</h2>
It's not just macro softness driving this surge. The market is also reacting to Washington's tariff thunderclap &#8211; doubling import duties on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/06/45790624/exclusive-tariff-titans-why-cleveland-cliffs-nucor-steel-dynamics-could-outmuscle-the-competition">steel and aluminum to 50%</a> &#8211; raising fears of another trade slugfest just as investors react to a market-moving call between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
For silver, which straddles the line between precious metal and industrial workhorse, this is jet fuel. Whether it's flight to safety or hedging against inflation and trade turmoil, demand is coming from all corners.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SLV And Silver Miners Shine Bright</h2>
Retail investors are already piling in. The iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>) (proxy for silver price) is up over 16% year-to-date and 14% over the past year, with technicals flashing green across the board.

SLV is currently trading above its eight, 20, 50 and 200-day simple moving averages and maintains a bullish MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator and an RSI (relative strength index) of 68.23.
For those seeking exposure to this breakout, silver miners like First Majestic Silver Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AG#NYSE">AG</a>), Pan American Silver Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NYSE">PAAS</a>) and Wheaton Precious Metals Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WPM#NYSE">WPM</a>) are catching bids alongside the metal.
For diversified exposure, the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIL#NYSE">SIL</a>) offers a direct line to the producers riding silver's high.
If Schiff's right and the rally's just beginning, silver bugs may have a lot more to smile about this summer.

Silver Hits 12-Year High: Peter Schiff Says Rally's Just Starting

While investors obsess over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/04/44836660/gold-tops-3300-as-peter-schiff-calls-it-biggest-financial-story-barrick-gold-flaunts-a-golden-cross">gold's path to $3,000</a>, silver may be quietly setting up for the bigger upside move — and the math might already be flashing the signal.
In a recent <a href="https://x.com/RonStoeferle/status/1925810027509457289?s=31">post</a> on X, Ronald-Peter Stöferle pointed out that if the gold-silver ratio — a historical measure of how many ounces of silver equal one ounce of gold — reverts to its long-term average, silver prices could surge.
With gold potentially heading to $3,000, the ratio implies silver could be worth between $55 and $63 per ounce, up to 95% higher than its current ~$33 price.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Silver Could Shine Brighter</h2>
But this isn't just a valuation story. Silver's fundamentals are shifting fast, and not just as a monetary metal. 2025 will mark the fifth consecutive year of silver supply deficits, with a cumulative shortfall of nearly 800 million ounces since 2021 — about the size of an entire year's mine production.
Demand, meanwhile, is being supercharged by industrial use. Solar panels alone are expected to consume nearly 198 million ounces of silver this year — an all-time high — and new-generation TOPCON technology could double that demand by 2029. Then there's the looming battery boom: Samsung's next-gen solid-state EV batteries could require up to 1 kilogram of silver per vehicle, a 20x jump from current battery chemistry.
Adding to the bullish pressure is India's sudden interest. The country imported 225 million ounces of silver in 2024 alone and could surpass 200 million ounces in ETP holdings by 2027, combining cultural affinity with a growing appetite for financial exposure.
For U.S. investors looking to position, the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>) and the Aberdeen Silver ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIVR#NYSE">SIVR</a>) track silver spot prices directly. More aggressive bets lie in the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIL#NYSE">SIL</a>) or the ETFMG Junior Silver Miners (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SILJ#NYSE">SILJ</a>).
If the golden ratio starts to snap back, silver may not just play catch-up — it might just outrun the headlines.

The Golden Ratio's Silver Surprise: This Metal's Price Could Double

Wall Street closed its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44341328/stocks-enter-correction-zone-tariff-fears-hammer-consumer-confidence-inflation-worries-hit-32-year-highs-this-week-in-markets">fourth consecutive losing week</a>, its longest slide since May 2022. 
The S&amp;P 500 fell into correction territory, down 10% from its February highs. Investors continue to have anxiety over trade tensions and government spending cuts. While weaker-than-expected inflation data fueled hopes for Fed interest-rate reductions, markets still lingered on policy uncertainty from the White House. 
Nevertheless, despite overall market weakness, some ETFs performed better than the rest last week.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Top Five Best-Performing ETFs </h2>

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Moved The Markets Last Week</h2>
Investor anxiety is high as a result of pending trade tariffs under President Trump and sudden spending reductions spearheaded by the DOGE office under Elon Musk. Even softer-than-expected inflation readings—February&#8217;s CPI climbed 2.8% YoY, down from the 2.9% consensus—kept markets fixated on White House policy actions.
Trump vowed a 200% tariff on European wines if the EU drops its 50% tax on American whiskey and doubled tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, threatening auto tariffs.
Consumer confidence dropped and long-term inflation expectations reached their highest since 1993. In response to economic uncertainty, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/03/44335436/gold-etfs-shine-as-spot-price-tops-3000-during-safe-haven-demand">gold hit a record $3,000 per ounce</a> and has increased in 10 of the last 11 weeks.
Markets bounced modestly at the end of the week on confirmation that a government shutdown would be averted and the lack of fresh trade news. The Federal Reserve is set to keep rates unchanged next week, although fears of stagflation—slowing growth coupled with ongoing inflation—are growing.

Wall Street's Losing Streak Deepens, But These 5 ETFs Defy The Slump

As cryptocurrency prices hover around <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41888686/bitcoin-blasts-through-87000-as-market-euphoria-regulatory-optimism-take-hold">record levels</a>, investors have been keen on adding them to their portfolios. This is evident by the rise in various Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETF levels. However, gold prices have declined by nearly 1% in the morning hours as cryptocurrency prices surged. While silver prices have been down too, Peter Schiff, the chairman of SchiffGold.com and chief economist and global strategist at Europac.com suggests that investors should go for silver over Bitcoin as the precious yellow metal declines.
What Happened: Schiff suggests that &#8220;typically&#8221; silver prices should drop to about half the rate of gold. However, with silver prices holding steady amid market fluctuations, he views this resilience as a &#8220;silver lining.&#8221; Schiff believes this unusual performance makes silver an attractive investment alternative to Bitcoin and gold ETFs, given its relative stability in the current market.

Earnings Scheduled For November 12, 2024

U.S. metals and mining stocks posted their strongest one-day rally of 2024 on Tuesday, driven by China&#8217;s unexpected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41003814/chinese-stocks-jump-as-central-bank-unveils-major-stimulus-to-spur-economy-a-step-in-the-right-direc">and substantial monetary easing. </a>
The People&#8217;s Bank of China&#8217;s (PBoC) stimulus measures, including cuts to the reserve requirement ratio and repo rates, boosted global demand for raw materials, sparking a surge in metal prices and mining stocks.
The SPDR S&amp;P Metals &amp; Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>) surged 4.2%, marking its best one-day performance since November 2023. The move reflected heightened optimism in the sector, which benefits heavily from demand in China, the world's largest consumer of raw materials.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Precious, Industrial Metals Shine</h3>
Gold prices hit yet another fresh record on Tuesday, rising 0.3% to $2,638 per ounce, the highest in history, as the metal benefited from expectations of higher liquidity from global central banks. 
The People&#8217;s Bank of China&#8217;s 50-basis-point cut to the reserve requirement ratio is expected to boost bank lending, while the reduction in key interest rates provides relief to heavily indebted sectors. This move is also seen as a strong signal that further monetary easing may be on the horizon.
Silver jumped 1.2%, while copper saw an even bigger rally, surging over 3%. The broad gains in metals prices were driven by expectations of increased Chinese demand, as the country&#8217;s easing measures are aimed at stimulating domestic economic activity.
Last week, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates by 50 basis points to 4.75%-5%, offering another strong tailwind to metal commodities. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mining Stocks, ETFs Post Gains</h3>
Mining-related stocks and ETFs are enjoying strong performance Tuesday. The Global X Copper Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPX#NYSE">COPX</a>) climbed over 6%, reflecting the sharp increase in copper prices, while the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIL#NYSE">SIL</a>) rose 2%.

Gold Breaks Records On China's Policy Stimulus: Mining, Metal Stocks Exhibit Strongest 1-Day Rally In 2024

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) reinforced its bullish outlook on gold, citing increased central bank demand and expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/federal-reserve" rel="noreferrer noopener">interest rate cut</a> tomorrow.
"While we see some tactical downside to gold prices under our economists' base case of a 25bp Fed cut on Wednesday, we reiterate our long gold trading recommendation and our price target of $2,700/oz by early 2025," the investment bank said in a note.
With the price of gold making new all-time highs, reaching 2589.60 on the spot market, the two-quarter upside price target of 5% doesn't seem much. At the moment, the market is pricing a 65% chance of a 50-basis-point cut tomorrow, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&amp;q=cme+fed+watchtool" rel="noreferrer noopener">per</a> the CME FedWatch tool.
Now read:<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40861213/why-interest-rate-cuts-wont-automatically-boost-the-stock-market" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Why Interest Rate Cuts Won't Automatically Boost The Stock Market</a>
Gold is traditionally seen as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. With the U.S. recession still in discussion and a Fed pivot toward more accommodative monetary policies, investor interest in gold is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40689742/goldman-sachs-bullish-on-gold-wall-street-giant-targets-2-700-by-early-2025-driven-" rel="noreferrer noopener">expected to remain strong</a>, accompanied by buying from foreign central banks, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38649656/how-chinas-central-bank-gold-buying-frenzy-drove-prices-to-record-highs-attracting-gen-z-to-gold-bea" rel="noreferrer noopener">particularly China</a>.
The Fed's anticipated rate cuts could <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40861213/why-interest-rate-cuts-wont-automatically-boost-the-stock-market" rel="noreferrer noopener">lower bond yields</a>, making gold more attractive as it does not generate interest.
In contrast to its positive gold outlook, the bank recently downgraded its projection for iron ore prices. The bank slashed its fourth-quarter 2024 forecast by $15 per metric ton, lowering it to $85 due to concerns of oversupply despite stabilizing demand from China.
Despite China's attempts at economic stimulus and rising steel demand, the broader economic slowdown and the real estate crisis have dampened demand for iron ore. Its futures briefly dipped below $90, reaching the lowest point in almost two years.
Goldman noted that while there might be short-term support due to restocking ahead of the holiday week in October, but the continued buildup of iron ore inventories is likely to drive prices further down.
Supply-demand imbalances have been a key issue for the market, particularly with major players like Brazil's Vale and Australia's BHP maintaining production levels.
Kallanish Consulting analyst Ian Roper explained the current price dynamics <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/international/2024/09/11/iron-ore-tests-floor-as-plunge-to-90-a-ton-puts-mines-at-risk/" rel="noreferrer noopener">for</a> Bloomberg.
"We need to eliminate about 100 million tons to balance this market, and to do that, we need prices to settle in the $80s," he noted.

Goldman Sachs Sees Gold Higher, Takes A Downbeat Stance On Iron Ore

Silver mining stocks have recorded their best weekly performance in over four years, with some exchange-traded funds (ETFs) delivering their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-precious-metals-stocks">highest gains since inception</a>.
A perfect storm of rising gold prices, expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, and a condition of structural global silver supply shortage has propelled prices above $30 per ounce, driving an almost 10% surge this week alone.
Several silver-focused ETFs have outperformed the broader market, benefiting from the rapid rise in prices. Here's a breakdown of their weekly performance as of 3 p.m. ET on Friday:

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Worsening Silver Shortage</h3>
The silver market&#8217;s supply and demand dynamics are only tightening, pushing prices higher. A Silver Institute survey highlighted a growing supply deficit, with demand expected to outstrip supply by 265 million ounces (oz.) this year, marking the steepest shortage since 2020.
In 2024, industrial demand for the metal is forecasted to rise to 710.9 million oz., up from 654 million oz. in 2023, driven largely by increased use in photovoltaic cells for solar energy production.
This demand spike is colliding with a flat supply, creating a structural deficit that's driving prices upward.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Rate Cuts Could Fuel Further Gains</h3>
Investor sentiment around silver and other precious metals is being buoyed by expectations of a near-term Federal Reserve interest rate cut. 
With inflation data aligning with a broader disinflationary trend, market odds currently point to a 49% chance of a 50-basis-point cut during next week's Fed meeting, with the remaining expectations on a 25-basis-point cut, as per CME FedWatch. 
Falling Treasury yields and a weaker dollar have further supported precious metals. 
Gold prices have soared to fresh all-time highs, surpassing $2,560/oz., with silver rallying alongside, notching five consecutive positive trading days this week—its longest winning streak since July.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top-Performing Miners</h3>
Silver mining stocks have outpaced the metal itself, with some posting massive gains. Here are the five top-performing miners this week:

Silver Miner ETFs Notch Best Week Since April 2020 As Rate-Cut Bets Boost Precious Metals: 5 Stocks Surge Over 20% This Week

At midday on Thursday, Wall Street was showing slight gains, with small caps leading the charge. The Russell 2000 index surged 1.2%, outperforming large-cap indices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/small-cap">in a notable rebound.</a>
The session kicked off with the release of the August Producer Price Index (PPI), which revealed mixed inflation data, following a slightly hotter-than-expected underlying consumer inflation picture a day earlier. 
However, the PPI report had little impact on market expectations surrounding future Federal Reserve rate cuts, with traders fully pricing in a reduction in the fed funds rate next week.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40700320/jpmorgan-warns-anticipated-rate-cuts-may-not-significantly-boost-stock-markets-fed-will-start-ea">JPMorgan Warns Anticipated Rate Cuts May Not Significantly Boost Stock Markets</a>
Meanwhile, jobless claims remained largely unchanged from the previous week and in line with forecasts, suggesting stability in the labor market. 
Also in line with market expectations, the European Central Bank (ECB) also announced a 25-basis-point cut to the deposit facility rate, lowering it to 3.5%.
The macroeconomic backdrop provided a tailwind for commodities. Gold hit a new all-time high, up 1.7% surpassing $2,550 per ounce, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40838414/gold-miners-eye-best-1-day-rally-in-6-months-as-gold-hits-fresh-record-highs-todays-environment-">boosting mining stocks. </a>
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) surged 4.3% by midday, marking its strongest session since early March 2024.
Silver prices also saw a strong uptick, rallying 3.8%, which pushed the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIL#NYSE">SIL</a>) up by more than 5%, positioning it for its best session since December 2023.
Across the broader commodities complex, oil prices climbed 2.4%, while natural gas spiked 4.5%.
In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) was up 1.1%, rebounding after Wednesday&#8217;s slight dip.

Stocks Edge Up As Producer Inflation Supports Rate Cut Bets, Small Caps, Miners Rally: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Friday is shaping up to be one of the strongest days for metal commodities in recent years. Gold climbed over 1.7% toward a record-high close above $2,400 per ounce, silver surged more than 6% to its highest level since February 2013, and copper hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining">an all-time high.</a>
What Happened: In a week marked by diminishing inflation fears, the case for Federal Reserve rate cuts strengthened. Additionally, news of a broad-based Chinese stimulus to support the struggling real estate sector sent metal commodities skyrocketing. Beijing announced measures such as reducing down payments for homebuyers and a state-financed package to convert unsold<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38895805/china-goes-all-in-as-beijing-vows-to-buy-unsold-properties-chinese-stocks-rally-copper-hits-all-time"> properties into social housing.</a>
Copper, extremely sensitive to China&#8217;s economic health as the country is the top purchaser of the red metal, rallied 4% to above $5 a pound. This surge marked a fresh weekly all-time high and its strongest day since November 2022.
Precious metals like silver and gold positively reacted to both interest-rate and Chinese-related developments. Silver spiked above $30, breaking out of a triple-top resistance pattern.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expert Insights on Metal Commodities</h3>
According to Otavio Costa, macro strategist at Crescat Capital, central banks are &#8220;acquiring gold to enhance the quality of their international reserves and thereby strengthen the credibility of their monetary systems.&#8221; 
He highlighted that unlike many investors and traders, central banks have a long-term perspective, meaning that &#8220;the accumulation of gold by these institutions is just beginning.&#8221;
According to analysts at Goldman Sachs, copper remains a focus amid an ongoing short squeeze that has sent futures to record highs. The investment bank maintains a positive outlook on copper, citing the market&#8217;s structural deficit and forecasting a 20% increase from current levels.
Jeff Currie, former Goldman Sachs commodities strategist and now chief strategy officer of energy pathways at Carlyle Group, stated in a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-17/jeff-currie-says-copper-is-the-best-trade-he-s-seen-in-his-career?sref=TBDibEcD">interview </a>that the red mental still has more room to run, emphasizing copper&#8217;s importance in powering electric vehicles, updated grids and AI data centers.

Silver Rockets To 11-Year Highs, Copper Hits Record Peak, Gold Approaches Historic Close: Mining Stocks' Wild Ride

The stock market is poised to mark a third consecutive session of gains, with major indices all trading in the green during midday trading in New York on Monday, as traders continue to react positively to quarterly earnings and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s unexpectedly dovish stance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/05/38584705/federal-reserve-takes-cautious-stand-on-inflation-powell-signals-preference-for-r">in its latest meeting.</a>
For Q1 2024, 80% of S&amp;P 500 companies have disclosed actual results, with over three quarters of them surpassing EPS estimates and 61% exceeding revenue estimates, according to FactSet.
The S&amp;P 500 rose by 0.4%, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 showing a similar daily surge. Small caps, as measured by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), outperformed large caps, rising by 1.2%.
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) surged over 6% ahead of its Q1 results, set to be released after the market closes. The broader chipmaker industry, as tracked by the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>), rose 1.7%, showing solid gains. 
Commodities performed strongly overall, with natural gas prices surging nearly 6% to a 4-month high. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude oil rose by 1%, on track to break a 5-day losing streak. 
Crude oil faced notable volatility around 12:47 EDT as gains were initially trimmed on news of Hamas accepting a ceasefire proposal, but then it partially recovered those losses after Israeli Forces stated that Hamas had agreed to a modified version not accepted by Israel.
Gold and silver also saw robust demand, with gold up over 0.7% and silver rallying about 3%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) softened 0.8%, with prices retracing after testing the 50-day moving average resistance at $65,500-$65,900 levels.
