Missed Gold's record-breaking run? Keep an eye on Silver [Video]

At the beginning of the year, analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence officially dubbed 2025 “The Year of Gold” – And now it's becoming clear why!

Fast forward three months to the present day and definitive evidence shows that Gold is not just having a great year. But in fact, the world's favourite precious metal is having its best year ever.

As Gold prices resume their epic run, scaling new all-time record highs on a back-to-back monthly basis – it's fair to say that we're watching history been made as the yellow metal continues to charge towards new unprecedented heights.

There is no denying, that there has been considerable excitement in the Gold market this year with the price soaring above $3,057 an ounce for the first time ever. However, according to analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence trader’s attention is now shifting to Silver on rising expectations that the grey metal is on the verge of a major breakout.

Since President Trump's inauguration in January – Gold prices have been on a parabolic run – climbed more than $350 within the President’s first 50 days back in office – to score new all-time record highs – not once, not twice, but on 19 separate occasions, so far in 2025.

Interestingly, Gold has outperformed every other major asset class since President Trump's inauguration including Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500, the Magnificent Seven Stocks and Bitcoin.

Gold is not the only precious metal delivering meteoric returns this year.

Silver has also been on a blistering run, climbing almost 20%, so far this year – And this could just the beginning!

The gold-to-silver ratio, which measures how many ounces of Silver it takes to buy one ounce of Gold has typically ranged between 40:1 and 70:1 over the past century.

However, when it rises above 80:1, Silver has often experienced sharp and unstoppable upside momentum. Currently, with Gold soaring past previous all-time highs and Silver lagging behind – the imbalance suggests that Silver could be on the verge a major breakout.

Last week, Silver rocketed above $34 an ounce to hit its highest level in more than 12-years.

Now Silver stealth bull run has come out of hiding – there’s no denying that the precious metal is capturing the world's attention like never before.

In a note to clients, analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence wrote “that the last time Silver prices broke above $34 an ounce – the precious metal went onto trade at $50 an ounce that very same year.  If this is a leading barometer for predicting the future performance of Silver prices, then this ultimately means one thing.

Silver prices are going a lot higher from here!
