Silver mining stocks like Endeavour Silver (NYSE:EXK) and First Majestic Silver (NYSE:AG) surged 12% on Friday and are up over 2% during premarket Monday trading after silver prices reached a record high of over $57 (£43.1) per ounce.
While the surge could be attributed to the volatility in US stock markets and the cryptocurrency industry, factors like ongoing silver supply tightness and growing expectations for an interest-rate cut this month are also driving the precious metal rally.
