Fortuna Silver Mines' stock soared 6.83% during intraday trading on Friday, as precious metal stocks rallied.
The surge came after U.S. economic data showed slower-than-expected GDP growth and higher-than-expected inflation in December, boosting demand for silver and gold-related assets as safe-haven investments.
Other silver miners and ETFs also saw significant gains, with the sector broadly benefiting from the economic indicators that suggest continued inflationary pressures and economic cooling.
