Rania Gule, a senior market analyst at the trading platform XS.com, stated in a report that silver may benefit more than gold in an environment where interest rates might decline. Gule said that silver is more sensitive to changes in monetary policy. She added that silver's high liquidity, ease of trading, and relatively low cost make it an attractive safe-haven asset for both retail and institutional investors. In 2025, silver rose nearly 148%, reflecting its "multidimensional" nature as a safe-haven asset, currency hedge, and a key mineral for the US economy. It is expected that with the depreciation of the US dollar, silver priced in dollars will become more attractive to non-US buyers, thereby driving global demand.
