So far this year, silver has outperformed gold, with over 83% gains compared to gold's 56% surge.&nbsp;Silver’s recent leap has been driven by a supply shortage in London, as producers fail to keep up with demand. London stocks were also diminished earlier this year when gold and silver bars were rushed to the U.S. in anticipation of tariffs imposed by Trump.“Beyond safe-haven demand, diversification from the U.S. dollar and rate cut expectations, silver prices benefit from industrial demand, including solar panels and wind turbines. Supply has lagged demand over the past four years and is projected to continue this deficit through 2025,” said IG Bank analyst Fabien Yip.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/honeywell-projects-record-business-jet-deliveries-in-next-decade-which-stocks-could-benefit/ch6mgQeR3lm">Honeywell Projects Record Business Jet Deliveries In Next Decade: Which Stocks Could Benefit?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Silver prices surged to the highest level in more than four decades amid growing concerns of fiscal risks in the U.S., with the government shutdown entering its ninth day.Spot silver prices climbed to a new high of $50.04 per troy ounce, rising nearly 2.4% over the previous day. However, silver futures maturing in December edged lower by 0.13% to $48.93.According to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-09/spot-silver-hits-highest-in-decades-on-haven-rally-tight-market?srnd=homepage-americas">report</a>, the current spot silver price is at the highest level since the Hunt brothers' squeeze in the 1970s and 80s. The report states that the ongoing surge in silver prices is due to concerns about the state of the U.S. economy as well as threats to the Federal Reserve’s independence, apart from a shortage of freely available silver in London, a key market for the metal.“The interesting aspect about the silver market is that the net long positions are only modestly higher so this is not a rally based upon speculative interest. It's got some pretty solid fundamentals attached to this move in the silver price," said independent analyst Ross Norman, explaining the surge in silver prices, according to a Reuters&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/india/gold-takes-breather-after-safe-haven-demand-fuels-record-run-2025-10-09/">report</a>.Shares of&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AG">First Majestic Silver Corp.</a> (AG) were up nearly 3% in Thursday’s opening trade amid a surge in silver prices.&nbsp;The silver miner also released a production update this week, stating that it had produced 7.7 million attributable silver equivalent (AgEq) ounces in the third quarter (Q3) from its four mines in Mexico currently under production.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SLV">iShares Silver Trust ETF</a> (SLV) was up 2.4% at the time of writing, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SIVR">abrdn Physical Silver Shares ETF</a> (SIVR) was up 2.3%.
