The week started with a strong rally for silver, which on Monday, September 24, 2025, opened trading sessions on a sharp upward trajectory. The next resistance level is set at $44.87, while the first technical support is seen at $42.45.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Growing demand for safe-haven assets and gold firmly above \u20ac100 per gram are pushing investors toward silver, reinforcing its upward trend.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fed and Global Tensions<\/h2>\n

The demand for defensive assets is increasing amid growing geopolitical instability. Russian airstrikes in Ukrainian territory continue unabated, while the interception of Soviet-era jets in European airspace raises fears of a potential escalation in the conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tensions are also mounting in the Middle East, as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Portugal have officially recognized the State of Palestine, joining over 140 countries supporting the two-state solution. This move risks creating significant diplomatic friction with Israel, a long-standing ally of Western nations, further contributing to an atmosphere of uncertainty.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the economic front, the more dovish monetary policy adopted by the U.S. Federal Reserve is supporting silver. Last week, the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points \u2014 a move typically favorable to precious metals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further rate cuts are expected before year-end, possibly even up to 50 basis points, which would continue to support high valuations for safe-haven assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Silver: From Jewelry to Strategic Programs<\/h2>\n

Over time, silver has been transitioning from a predominantly cyclical commodity (jewelry, electronics, investment) to a preferred material in long-term, structural programs such as AI data centers, energy infrastructure, and defense modernization.<\/span><\/p>\n

If silver is indeed moving away from short economic cycles to being employed in long-term projects backed by government budgets, the metal\u2019s risk profile could change significantly, shifting investor focus toward medium- and long-term positioning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, sourcing silver is becoming increasingly challenging. In 2024, the market recorded its fourth consecutive structural deficit, at a time when industrial demand reached a new all-time high.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following chart clearly shows the pressure on supply, which since 2021 has struggled to keep pace with steadily rising demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Invest in Silver<\/h2>\n

While often overshadowed by gold, silver continues to gain traction. In fact, not everyone realizes that in 2025, silver has outperformed its more famous counterpart: with a year-to-date gain of approximately 47%, silver has surpassed gold\u2019s 41% rise over the same period.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike gold, which is mainly regarded as an investment asset, silver is heavily used in industrial applications, accounting for over 50% of total demand. The ongoing energy transition may play a decisive role in this growing demand, which has now marked its fifth consecutive year of supply deficit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Silver\u2019s accessible price point makes it an appealing option for a wide range of investors, offering easy and affordable access to a market increasingly shaped by structural trends and long-term strategic shifts.<\/span><\/p>\n
