Yesterday, I was watching the market, and the price of silver has now $71 surpassed it. This is truly impressive—it has risen by about 138% over the year, beating even gold’s 70% increase. Before, I didn’t think silver would deliver such strong performance.

Even more interesting is that silver’s market cap is now moving toward $4 trillion. That means it has become the world’s fourth-largest asset, just behind Apple. The weak U.S. dollar, the possibility of interest rate cuts, and the demand to reduce risk—all of these seem to be fueling silver’s upward trend.

Gold is also doing well, hitting a new record of $4,500 on Monday. Goldman Sachs says it could rise to as high as $4,900 by the end of next year. Looking at the trend of precious metals right now, it seems the market is seeking safety, and silver is benefiting the most from this.
