Analysts Highlight the Growing Disconnect in Silver’s Price

Following a more than 20% increase in December, silver ended the year as the top-performing asset. However, market participants caution that the move does not mirror past speculative spikes such as the quantitative-easing rally of 2011 or the Hunt brothers-driven surge in the 80s. While prices retreated once leverage was unwound because sufficient supply was available in the past, that isn’t the case today. Now, the silver market is marked by increasing geopolitical constraints on the movement of physical metal, rapidly growing industrial demand, and a sustained supply shortfall. In 2011, the surge was fuelled largely by investment inflows, particularly into ETFs, as investors sought protection from aggressive quantitative easing. Industrial demand was far lower then, and sizeable above-ground stockpiles in Western…

Surging Copper Prices Reflect Growing Race to Lock in Available Supplies

The start of this month saw the price of copper surging past $13,000 per metric ton. This comes after strong demand from electric vehicles and AI data centers drove prices higher by 40% in 2025. John Meyer, an analyst at SP Angel, argues that the red metal’s prices need to increase even more to encourage miners to generate substantial new output. He explains that many mines have exceeded their intended operating capacity for years, with operational setbacks at major mines globally only strengthening concerns about tightening supply. An example of this is the mud rush event at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia, which saw seven miners trapped underground, with two later confirmed deceased. Over in northern Chile, hundreds of…
