Blog posts of '2025' 'December'

Despite a little softness in gold early this week, gold and silver are set to end 2025 with their best annual performances since 1979. Platinum and palladium have enjoyed historic gains as well.

Have you been riding that train? Or are you afraid that you missed the boat?

Just a few days remain to take advantage in 2025.

Gold has pulled back from recent record highs above $4,500 an oz. on broader-market, year-end rally that also boosted equities.

But don't let that fool you.

It’s up 72% this year. 

While gold's performance is nothing less than incredible, silver is the real story.

We spent the entire year trying to tell you...

And in this final quarter, silver's explosive break out confirmed what we've been saying all along.

Silver continues to rally as industrial demand clashes with an ongoing supply deficit. It's now up 164% this year. It's not done.

Platinum is up 166% in 2025 after a dismal performance in 2024, and palladium is also up 109% this year.

Overall, it's been an insanely strong year for the performance of the entire precious metals complex.

And we don't want to see you miss out in 2026.

Here's why 2025's performance is something we can anticipate continuing:

• Safe haven demand: widespread geopolitical conflict and warfare unfortunately drove investors into precious metals positions. Resolution is still out of reach as tensions continue into the new year.
• Economic uncertainty: U.S. GDP growth is still positive, but slowing into 2026, as higher tariffs, fiscal uncertainty, and a cooling labor market mean it may be some time before the economy returns to a growth period.
• Interest rate cuts: some investors are betting on further cuts from the Fed after 3 consecutive cuts were made to end 2025.
• Industrial demand: While gold has been mainly boosted by central bank buying and the investment market, the silver, platinum, and palladium rallies have been mostly driven by industrial demand.

2025's gains will be nearly impossible to beat, but that doesn't mean the ride is over for the precious metals complex.

There's still time to reap the benefits of these massive market moves.

Here's how...

In 2025, silver is yet again outperforming nearly every asset class, up over 130% YTD. Both gold and silver are heading for their best annual performances since 1979.

Some sources are now suggesting that silver is overbought and 2026 silver performance will stagnate as a result.

But they're failing to take into account that the industrial sector is about to ignite.

Which is why Samsung just invested $7 million in a silver mining operation in Mexico.

To be clear, this is $7 million in secure prepaid funding for a two-year supply of silver.

Because silver supply is going to be SCARCE in the coming years.

2025 is projected to be the 5th consecutive year of supply deficit in silver.

Meanwhile, as the world’s best electrical conductor, silver is found in nearly every electronic device from batteries to cell phones to AI supercomputers. 

According to The Silver Institute, "Silver in electronics and electrical demand hit another record high last year, growing 4 percent to 465.6 million ounces. Underpinning these overall gains was the limited scale of thrifting and substitution, as silver remains irreplaceable in many applications."

Silver is irreplaceable in the industrial sector. With a sustained supply deficit and global demand starting to catch up, the safe haven investing that has driven the current silver rally won't even compare to the anticipated ramp up in industrial demand over the next few years. A silver squeeze is coming.

Samsung knows it.

Other companies are starting to catch on.

And investors who are smart enough to position their portfolio now stand to profit tremendously.

So, pay attention...

Silver is at all-time highs. But it's positioned to go sky high.

Silver is yet again outperforming nearly every asset class.

Silver prices are showing no signs of a top yet, and the Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR) can indicate just how high prices will go.

Right now, the gold–silver ratio sits around 68 to 1, well down from the highs of 100 to 1 earlier this year, and below the "magic number" of 80. 

Here's why it's important: history shows that when the ratio begins to narrow, silver tends to surge. If a typical high for the GSR is above 80 to 1, the historical lows of the ratio are between 30-50 to 1.

That means, even if gold stays at $4,300, silver could easily reach $86 -$143 an oz. before the end of this precious metals bull market.

Last year, silver was roughly $29 an oz. around this time... imagine silver at 4-5x that amount in a few years' time.

As gold continues to rise, silver will rise even higher.

Yet, demand is projected to drop by 4-5% year-over-year for 2025.

The surprising lack of demand means that many investors are missing out.

The silver spot price hit a new record high above $64 an oz. last week, yet investors have continued selling their silver now that it's at all-time highs. Despite a small increase in demand for U.S. investors, retailers have had to contend with sizable retail investor liquidations in 2025. 

The crazy thing is that these investors are missing is the profit potential in silver.

They're bailing too early on a historic rally.

Silver increased 19% in November, 3.3% in October, and 15% in September. And the rally is poised to continue as the London bull market is now undergoing a historical squeeze.

Demand is starting to shift, but there is still time to get in before silver goes higher. Don't delay if buying has been on your mind.

A retirement portfolio can be at risk from several factors, including market volatility, inflation, and interest rates.

Above $4,200, gold continues to build in this final month of 2025, starting the first week of December with a strong performance.

Despite a pullback this fall, gold gained:

• 6.5% in November
• 3.2% in October
• 10% in September

It’s up 61% so far in 2025, eclipsing last year's gains of 27%.

This rally is nothing less than incredible.

And it's not done yet...

Investors are banking on another rate cut this week as the Fed prepares for the next FOMC meeting.

That expectation is already fueling the rally in precious metals and lifting equities.
 
But if the Fed surprises and deviates from what investors are pricing in, we could see a swift, broad-based pullback in both metals and stocks as positions are unwound.

As investors wait to see what will happen, premiums have dropped on one of the most popular coins in all of bullion— the Gold American Eagle.

Eagle premiums tend to be higher than any sovereign gold coin on the market. Most of the time, investors can expect to pay 5-7% over the gold spot price.

But for a brief window in time, they're attainable at just about 2% over spot.

It's actually kind of insane...

But this premium reduction will likely be short-lived and spot prices continue to rise. So don't wait!

It's the final weeks of 2025. Invest smart.

• Gold is rallying to six-week highs.
• Silver is climbing to new record highs.
• The U.S. dollar is falling.

While many investors are turning their attention to family and fun as the winter holidays loom large on the horizon, there is still a chance to make strong market moves before the end of the year.

The recent decline in the dollar is supportive for gold, making it less expensive to buy for holders of other currencies.

The anticipated interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve is also considered bullish for gold. Most investors are expecting the third rate cut in a row next week. 

And with further market volatility and geopolitical instability ahead, and western investors just starting to get into the market... both the short-term and long-term outlook for precious metals is bright.

Gold is up 61% this year, eclipsing the 27% it gained in 2024.

Silver is up 95% this year after rising 21% last year.

The calendar year may be drawing to a close, but there is still time to firm up your portfolio in 2025, and set yourself up for an even brighter 2026.

And we want to give you a head start...
