Precious metals were the best-performing sector of the commodities market in Q3, rising 20.32%. Over 2025’s first nine months, the composite, including gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, moved 55.92% higher. In late October 2025, prices have continued to soar. In my October 14, 2025, Barchart article recapping the precious metals and GLTR ETF price action in Q3 and the first nine months of 2025, I concluded:
The trend is always a trader’s or investor’s best friend, and it remains bullish for precious metals in October 2025. GLTR is a product that trades on the NYSE Arca and enables market participants to diversify precious metals exposure. I rate GLTR a hold at the current price level, as even the most aggressive bullish trends rarely move in straight lines. However, any pullback or correction could be a golden buying opportunity.
