Silver blasted up to a new high in September. The 3 silver stocks listed here (and the silver ETF) joined in the fun. This other precious metal (other than gold) is a desired commodity if tariffs and rate cuts produce greater inflation, which seems likely to those paying attention to the economic environment.
When mining companies dig for silver, some also find gold as well as copper and other metals with industrial uses. So, a silver stock is likely to represent more than just a single product. These equities trade mostly on the price of the silvery substance but if enough of the other metals is found, that enters into the overall valuations.
