Silver has significantly outperformed gold in 2025, delivering approximately 135% returns compared to gold's 67% and copper's 36%. While global uncertainty and the potential return of Donald Trump's aggressive tariff policies have driven investors towards precious metals as a safe haven, silver's rise is also attributed to its substantial and growing industrial demand. Sectors like solar energy, electric vehicles, data centers, and AI are major drivers, alongside a persistent structural deficit in silver supply, with demand outpacing production for five consecutive years.
