On August 19, Amplify Junior Silver Miners ETF rose 8.3% in regular trading, trading at $31.355/share, with turnover of $71.05 million. The surge was driven by a convergence of bullish catalysts across the silver sector.
Citi reiterated its strong bullish stance on silver, forecasting prices to reach $90 per ounce within the next 6 to 12 months, citing recovering investment demand and an increasingly dovish Fed policy trajectory. On the same day, Sun Silver reported high-grade drill results at its Maverick project in Nevada, intersecting 98 meters at 120 g/t silver equivalent from 173 meters, including nearly 48 meters at 201 g/t silver equivalent. Multiple junior silver miners have recently reported positive exploration results, including Hecla Mining which highlighted strong outcomes at Keno Hill and a new vein discovery at Midas.
Broader structural support for the sector includes a persistent physical silver supply deficit extending over six years, alongside strong industrial demand from the technology sector. Spot silver was recently trading near $57.9/oz.
