Silver and Copper ETFs Performance: Silver and copper have outperformed gold, with the iShares Silver Trust gaining approximately 96% and the United States Copper ETF rising about 31.7% in 2025, driven by strong demand and supply constraints.
Market Dynamics and Demand: A significant supply crunch in the silver market, particularly due to high demand from India and industrial applications, has contributed to silver's price surge, while copper's rally is supported by long-term demand for electrification and renewable energy.
Impact of Federal Reserve Policies: The Federal Reserve's potential interest rate cuts could weaken the U.S. dollar, which typically supports the prices of non-yielding assets like silver and copper, as most metals are priced in dollars.
