iShares silver outperforms gold
This year’s returns on silver, at 26.8%, have inched slightly above gold, according to the prices of two popular exchange-traded funds, the iShares Silver Trust and SPDR Gold Shares as of Monday’s trading.
It is the first time the iShares silver ETF has outperformed gold’s year-to-date gains in 48 trading days. As recently as May, the gold fund’s 2025 returns were nearly double that of silver. Much of the catch-up has taken place in June as the silver ETF gained 11% while the gold fund gained 1%.
