Global X Silver Miners ETF Price & Performance (SIL)

Gold mining stocks have surged in 2025, with ETFs like VanEck Gold Miners up 20% year-to-date, outpacing gold's 12% gain. Analysts attribute this to inflation fears and geopolitical tensions. Central banks, including China, continue to boost reserves, while tariffs and economic uncertainty drive investors toward precious metals as a hedge.12

Silver-focused ETFs, such as Global X Silver Miners, are gaining traction due to rising silver prices and increased industrial demand. With applications in green energy and technology, silver miners are benefiting from heightened investor interest. These ETFs also offer dividend potential and geographic diversification, appealing to a broader range of investors.34

Sprott's new actively managed ETF, GBUG, focuses on undervalued gold and silver miners. With bullion prices rising, active strategies aim to capitalize on lagging mining stocks. By leveraging expertise in the sector, GBUG seeks to outperform passive funds, offering flexibility and potential long-term growth for investors amid economic uncertainty.56
