Key precious metals have been on an incredible run in recent months, fueled by investor uncertainty amid a shifting tariff landscape, trade tensions between the United States and China, and other ongoing geopolitical volatility. Gold has led the way, surging by more than 41% in the year leading to late April 2025, although silver and platinum have also solidly outperformed the broader market during the same time period.
Investors may be able to capitalize on precious metals' continued success through targeted investments in mining companies. There are many mining firms worldwide, but those focused on gold production may have some of the strongest momentum based on gold's history of outpacing the growth of other metals in recent months.
