Silver has hit fresh peaks in seven of the last 10 sessions. Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research at Goldman Sachs, told Forbes on Thursday that silver prices are likely to remain highly volatile as long as uncertainty over U.S. tariffs persists. Struyven also pointed to a physical squeeze in the London silver market, with inventories low as metal is being shipped to the U.S. amid tariff concerns.He said that many of the factors lifting gold, such as expectations of lower interest rates, also help silver by boosting investor demand. However, unlike gold, silver doesn’t have central bank buying as support, and it tends to be more volatile.Struyven noted that Gold ETFs are roughly 70 times smaller than the U.S. Treasury market, and silver is about nine times smaller than gold, and because of this, even modest flows into silver could drive significant gains.Meanwhile, veteran commodities expert and Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, Ole Hansen, noted that silver could see profit-taking as risk sentiment weakened across equities.In a <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/1999015507278672209">post</a> on X, Hansen noted that the firm rejection, partly due to overbought conditions, may signal a shift in focus toward consolidation, with $59 as a major support level.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Ole_Hansen_png_6e56b6f601.webp" alt="Ole Hansen.png"><h2 class="st-heading-2">Gold And Greenback</h2>Spot gold prices fell 0.2% to $4,219 an ounce, while gold futures for February 2026 deliveries climbed 0.6% to $4,249.2.Meanwhile, the dollar index (DXY) declined 0.3% to 98.32, its lowest level since October 17.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1299/876;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/DXY_png_783fa1b935.webp" alt="DXY.png" width="1299" height="876"><figcaption>DXY on Dec. 10, 2025 | Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>Read Also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/crbp-stock-surged-36-pre-market-what-did-its-obesity-treatment-drug-study-reveal/cLIxOoAREnh">CRBP Stock Surged 36% Pre-Market – What Did Its Obesity Treatment Drug Study Reveal?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Gold ETFs in the Spotlight as 2025 Draws to a Close

Gold ETFs like GLD draw attention as gold's record-breaking 2025 rally fuels strong demand for ETFs heading into 2026.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Silver prices have soared 106% in 2025, over four times last year’s gains.</li><li>The surge accelerated when the gold-silver ratio spiked above 105 in April, analyst Ole Hansen said.</li><li>Spot gold prices and the dollar index were trading marginally lower ahead of the outcome of the Fed meeting.</li></ul>&nbsp;Spot silver (XAG/USD) extended its rally on Wednesday, surging to another fresh high as prices briefly touched $61.6 per ounce ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision later in the day, where investors are broadly expecting a 25-basis-point cut.At the time of writing, the spot prices eased off record highs and were trading up 0.3%, while silver futures for March 2026 delivery gained 1% to $60.46 per ounce.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1300/877;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/XAG_png_9fe3831850.webp" alt="XAG.png" width="1300" height="877"><figcaption>Silver spot price (XAG/USD) on Dec.10, 2025 | Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>The current run has seen silver prices increase by 106% so far in 2025, more than four times last year's gains.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Gold-Silver Ratio</h2>According to veteran commodities expert and Head of Commodity Strategy for Saxo Bank, Ole Hansen, silver’s surge accelerated when the gold-silver ratio spiked above 105 in April, making silver appear deeply undervalued. Once prices broke major resistance levels in August, momentum traders, long-term investors, and macro funds piled in, turning a valuation gap into a full-fledged breakout.In a Saxo Bank note on Wednesday, Hansen added that eroding confidence in fiat currencies, persistent inflation concerns, and rising fiscal deficits pushed investors toward hard assets. While gold buying by central banks remained strong, silver, a cheaper and more volatile alternative, benefited.&nbsp;At the same time, industrial demand driven by electrification trends, solar power expansion, EV growth, and data-center build-outs increased demand, while years of weak mine supply kept the physical market tight.These pressures also intensified after silver was added to the U.S. critical minerals list, prompting large pre-tariff purchases that drained global inventories. Warehouse stocks in Shanghai fell to decade lows, London lease rates spiked, and demand from India added further strain.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Outlook For 2026</h2>Silver’s outlook in 2026 remains broadly constructive, though risks persist. A slowdown in AI-related investment or a reversal of U.S. tariff plans could ease tightness. Technically, holding the metal above the $54 to $55 per ounce zone remains crucial, while a sustained breakout would strengthen the case for higher prices next year, Hansen added.Meanwhile,&nbsp;on Wednesday morning, spot gold (XAU/USD) was trading 0.1% lower at $4,203.2 an ounce, while futures for February 2026 deliveries also declined 0.1%.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the dollar index (DXY) dropped 0.17% to 99.07, below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SLV">iShares Silver Trust</a> ETF, which tracks silver, was up 0.3%.

ETFs That Investors May Consider Amid a Dollar Drag

As the dollar weakens and rate-cut bets rise, these ETFs offer investors a way to hedge, diversify and capitalize on opportunities.

Expectations of softer monetary policy also bolster precious metals by lowering borrowing costs and weighing on the U.S. dollar. Lower interest rates tend to favour non-yielding assets such as gold.<h2 class="st-heading-2">U.S. Macro Data</h2>Recent U.S. economic data have offered mixed cues. The core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation gauge met expectations, consumer sentiment improved, and jobless claims fell to over three-year lows, even as private payrolls recorded their sharpest drop in more than two years.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Silver Close To Record Highs</h2>Silver, meanwhile, extended its strong run. Spot prices (XAG/USD) rose 0.7% to $58.55 per ounce, hovering just below the record high of $59.34 reached last week.&nbsp;Analysts attribute the surge in prices to tight physical supply and depleted inventories due to high demand from industrial sectors. Silver has nearly doubled in value this year, outpacing gold’s almost 60% gains.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Greenback And Copper Watch</h2>The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) was down marginally at 99.05.

Here’s How Gold Is Performing Ahead Of Fed Rate Decision Tomorrow

Gold prices advanced on Tuesday morning ahead of the Fed's rate decision on Wednesday, amidst a widely anticipated 25-basis-point rate cut.

This was often followed by a significant correction, such as in 1980 for gold (after having surged during the Great Inflation) and the burst of the dotcom bubble for US equities,” it stated in a report.Analysts at ING Think stated in a note on Monday that they expect the yellow metal to continue to shine in 2026. They expect gold prices to average $4,325 per troy ounce in 2026, implying an upside of more than 3% from current levels.Meanwhile, U.S. equities edged lower in Monday’s opening trade.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Gold Bull Peter Schiff argued Bitcoin is purely speculative, with value dependent on future buyers rather than intrinsic utility.</li><li>He called Binance a “pretty big casino,” stating that retail traders are getting “suckered” into the hype.</li><li>The debate centered around Bitcoin’s role as money, with Schiff noting it fails as a unit of account or medium of exchange.</li></ul>Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao called Bitcoin (BTC) a “better version of gold” on Thursday in a debate against gold bull Peter Schiff at Binance Blockchain Week.“I think gold will do well, but Bitcoin will do better,” CZ said. He highlighted Bitcoin’s digital, portable, and divisible nature, noting that while it exists only as a record on the blockchain, it still holds value through widespread trust and usage. “Google has value. Twitter has value. Many virtual things have value,” he added, stating that Bitcoin’s virtual form does not reduce its worth.Schiff countered, comparing Binance to a casino and saying many retail participants are “suckered” by hype and speculative gains. “You’re running a pretty big casino,” Schiff said. CZ pushed back, noting Binance’s hundreds of millions of users and arguing that adoption reflects Bitcoin’s value and legitimacy.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Speculation Vs. Fundamentals</h2>Schiff framed Bitcoin as a speculative asset, saying, “When I buy Bitcoin, all I’m doing is betting that someone else will pay more for it in the future.” He noted that, unlike stocks, Bitcoin generates no income or dividends, and compared it to tokenized gold, which he said transfers ownership of a tangible asset.CZ acknowledged speculation plays a role in Bitcoin’s price but emphasized the growing ecosystem of developers and global users, as well as adoption in underbanked regions. He argued that digital assets provide financial access previously unavailable in many parts of the world, offering utility beyond speculation.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Bitcoin’s Role As Money</h2>Schiff stated that Bitcoin fails basic monetary functions. “It’s not a unit of account. It’s not used to pay for goods or services. It’s largely a speculative asset traded between investors.”&nbsp;CZ responded that Bitcoin’s utility extends beyond immediate commerce, pointing to its global accessibility, scarcity, and growing adoption. “You have a pretty narrow definition of money,” CZ told Schiff.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> was trading at around $92,600 in early trade on Thursday, edging 0.5% lower in the last 24 hours.
