Silver prices rebounded on Tuesday after suffering their biggest daily drop in years, highlighting high volatility and indirectly coloring the metals market throughout 2025.
The surge followed a new record when silver hit US$80 an ounce, before undergoing a sharp correction, reflecting high speculative activity in the market.
Despite the strong performance this year, some analysts expect the focus of commodity gains in 2026 to shift to cyclicals rather than defensive precious metals, as global growth is expected to recover.
Gold and copper also rose, supported by a weak US dollar, expectations of interest rate cuts and supply concerns.
Warnings about China's silver export restrictions added to supply concerns, thus supporting price sentiment in the near term. Attention remains focused on the movement of gold and silver prices.
