Past
What happened
Silver surged 1.90% to $76.02, outpacing gold's bounce as industrial-metals demand and the geopolitical bid stacked. Opened lower on Iran drone news, then ripped on the strike headlines.
Why
Why it matters
Silver is leveraged gold plus an AI capex play — solar and data-center wiring demand sit underneath the macro trade. When gold runs and risk is on simultaneously, silver outperforms both.
Watch
What to watch
$77 is the technical breakout level — clean break opens $80. PCE Friday matters less than gold for silver; watch copper and AI capex headlines instead.
