Focused right now."Jose Gomez, a partner at Summit Metals, also believes silver's percentage gains are likely to exceed gold's in 2025. "My estimate is a rise of 25-30% from today's approximately $30-dollar spot price," Gomez says. "Silver can reach $38 to outpace gold by 10%. Gold has an upside to hit $2900 in 2025 from today's $2,650 price." Gomez believes silver is likely to outperform because "the gold price has been locked in by institutional investors since early this year, bitcoin is taking a market share of gold retail investors, and gold is quite expensive for the average retail investor." According to Gomez, while global demand for gold will likely outpace supply and result in continued growth, there's also likely to be a sharp increase in demand for silver. "There's an increased rise in industrial demand from solar energy investments, new EV battery solutions, and military conflicts that require silver as a basis for fast-performing electronics," Gomez says. "Silver is a better conductor of electricity than copper which makes it the choice of metal for high-end electronics."Wheaton Precious Metals CEO Randy Smallwood also points to the rise in industrial demand as a reason silver will outperform this year — but indicated there are other factors in play as well. "Central banks have set new records in terms of gold purchases, which has helped fuel the price of gold," Smallwood says. "In October, Russia announced it will begin to accumulate silver in addition to other precious metals. It will be interesting to see if other nations follow suit, potentially driving the demand for silver even higher.""Analysts have pointed to a notable increase in China's apparent demand for silver, up by more than 20% year over year," Smallwood says, which isn't entirely explained by rising industrial demand. "We're also seeing a resurgence of interest from retail investors, many of whom are buying silver for the first time in years. If this trend continues, and global ETF demand for silver picks up in the new year, we could see a positive shift in the market." With ample evidence that silver could overperform, silver investors may have an unprecedented opportunity. "With the current gold-to-silver ratio hovering just under 90, it's important to note that outside of the exceptional circumstances of the 1990-91 Gulf War and the 2020 COVID-related shutdowns, there have been very few instances where silver has been priced this attractively," Smallwood says.Take steps to add gold to your investment portfolio today.No, silver won't outpace gold in 2025While this is good news for silver enthusiasts, it's also important to note that uniform consensus is lacking regarding which precious metal has the most potential this year."I think it is very unlikely that silver will
