This followed silver spot prices’ jump to the $103 territory, while gold rallied to as high as $4,988—just $12 shy of the $5,000 territory, during the session.
The rally in precious metals and mining stocks remained boosted by geopolitical tensions between the world’s largest economy and the European Union, despite both parties already recalling previously announced tariff plans, as investors stayed cautious amid a volatile and unpredictable US president.
Further fueling sentiment were news earlier that Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSEAmerican:USAS) hit a record silver production of 2.65 million ounces, up 52 percent from 1.74 million ounces in 2024.
Its Cosala operations in Mexico alone achieved a new annual production record of 1.19 million ounces, driven by a record quarter output of 463,000 ounces for the fourth quarter of 2025.
“We capped off a highly successful and transformative 2025 with a 52 percent increase in attributable silver production to 2.65 million ounces—achieved in a robust and rising silver price environment that significantly amplifies the revenue and cash flow benefits of our expanded output,” said Chairman and CEO Paul Andre Huet.
