Historic Metals Surge in 2025: Silver Leads Global Markets

DID Press: In 2025, metals outperformed all other global assets, emerging as the leading sector in financial markets. Falling interest rates in major economies, especially the U.S., combined with heightened geopolitical and trade uncertainties, boosted the role of precious metals as safe-haven investments.

Silver saw a staggering 174% rise since January, becoming the year’s most profitable asset, driven by industrial demand and supply shortages in the London metals market, pushing prices above $70 per ounce.

Platinum and palladium also surged, with platinum up 171% to a record $2,446 per ounce, and palladium rising 111% to its highest level in four years.
