Although you would never know it from reading the headlines, silver has left gold in the dust over the past few years. In fact, over the past decade, the white metal has outperformed its yellow rival, generating cumulative returns of 298% to 286%. It’s in 2025, though, where silver really started to shine, doubling in value compared to 60% gains for gold.
