Volatile Silver Rally Opens a Buy Case for Miners

Silver’s surge to roughly $120/oz followed by a historic Friday drop to $85 highlighted extreme volatility, but Barron’s argues that silver-miner stocks could offer attractive upside as supply tightens, demand remains robust, and margins expand; key producers like Fresnillo, Hecla, Coeur, Pan American Silver and First Majestic, along with streaming firm Wheaton Precious Metals, provide varied risk/return profiles, while ETFs such as Global X Silver Miners and Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver offer diversification—yet investors should brace for continued volatility and potential supply responses.
