On August 19, Global X Silver Miners ETF rose 9.69% in regular trading, trading at $96.065/share, with turnover of $162 million. The rally came as spot gold surged to a two-month high, triggering a broad advance across the precious metals sector with silver miners significantly outperforming.
Multiple catalysts converged to drive the move. Citi reiterated its strong bullish stance on silver, projecting prices to reach $90 per ounce within 6 to 12 months, citing recovering investment demand and an increasingly dovish Federal Reserve policy outlook. CFTC data revealed that managed money net long positions had previously sat at a two-year low, unleashing a dual wave of short covering and fresh long accumulation that amplified silver's upside elasticity relative to gold.
Additionally, Sun Silver reported high-grade drill intercepts at its Nevada Maverick project, including 98 meters at 120 g/t silver equivalent, while other junior silver miners also announced positive exploration results, reinforcing sector-wide momentum.
The fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in the securities of the underlying index, designed to measure broad-based equity market performance of global companies involved in the silver mining industry.
