As cryptocurrency prices hover around <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41888686/bitcoin-blasts-through-87000-as-market-euphoria-regulatory-optimism-take-hold">record levels</a>, investors have been keen on adding them to their portfolios. This is evident by the rise in various Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETF levels. However, gold prices have declined by nearly 1% in the morning hours as cryptocurrency prices surged. While silver prices have been down too, Peter Schiff, the chairman of SchiffGold.com and chief economist and global strategist at Europac.com suggests that investors should go for silver over Bitcoin as the precious yellow metal declines.
What Happened: Schiff suggests that &#8220;typically&#8221; silver prices should drop to about half the rate of gold. However, with silver prices holding steady amid market fluctuations, he views this resilience as a &#8220;silver lining.&#8221; Schiff believes this unusual performance makes silver an attractive investment alternative to Bitcoin and gold ETFs, given its relative stability in the current market.

Earnings Scheduled For November 12, 2024

U.S. metals and mining stocks posted their strongest one-day rally of 2024 on Tuesday, driven by China&#8217;s unexpected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41003814/chinese-stocks-jump-as-central-bank-unveils-major-stimulus-to-spur-economy-a-step-in-the-right-direc">and substantial monetary easing. </a>
The People&#8217;s Bank of China&#8217;s (PBoC) stimulus measures, including cuts to the reserve requirement ratio and repo rates, boosted global demand for raw materials, sparking a surge in metal prices and mining stocks.
The SPDR S&amp;P Metals &amp; Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>) surged 4.2%, marking its best one-day performance since November 2023. The move reflected heightened optimism in the sector, which benefits heavily from demand in China, the world's largest consumer of raw materials.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Precious, Industrial Metals Shine</h3>
Gold prices hit yet another fresh record on Tuesday, rising 0.3% to $2,638 per ounce, the highest in history, as the metal benefited from expectations of higher liquidity from global central banks. 
The People&#8217;s Bank of China&#8217;s 50-basis-point cut to the reserve requirement ratio is expected to boost bank lending, while the reduction in key interest rates provides relief to heavily indebted sectors. This move is also seen as a strong signal that further monetary easing may be on the horizon.
Silver jumped 1.2%, while copper saw an even bigger rally, surging over 3%. The broad gains in metals prices were driven by expectations of increased Chinese demand, as the country&#8217;s easing measures are aimed at stimulating domestic economic activity.
Last week, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates by 50 basis points to 4.75%-5%, offering another strong tailwind to metal commodities. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mining Stocks, ETFs Post Gains</h3>
Mining-related stocks and ETFs are enjoying strong performance Tuesday. The Global X Copper Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPX#NYSE">COPX</a>) climbed over 6%, reflecting the sharp increase in copper prices, while the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIL#NYSE">SIL</a>) rose 2%.

Gold Breaks Records On China's Policy Stimulus: Mining, Metal Stocks Exhibit Strongest 1-Day Rally In 2024

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) reinforced its bullish outlook on gold, citing increased central bank demand and expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/federal-reserve" rel="noreferrer noopener">interest rate cut</a> tomorrow.
"While we see some tactical downside to gold prices under our economists' base case of a 25bp Fed cut on Wednesday, we reiterate our long gold trading recommendation and our price target of $2,700/oz by early 2025," the investment bank said in a note.
With the price of gold making new all-time highs, reaching 2589.60 on the spot market, the two-quarter upside price target of 5% doesn't seem much. At the moment, the market is pricing a 65% chance of a 50-basis-point cut tomorrow, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&amp;q=cme+fed+watchtool" rel="noreferrer noopener">per</a> the CME FedWatch tool.

Gold is traditionally seen as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. With the U.S. recession still in discussion and a Fed pivot toward more accommodative monetary policies, investor interest in gold is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40689742/goldman-sachs-bullish-on-gold-wall-street-giant-targets-2-700-by-early-2025-driven-" rel="noreferrer noopener">expected to remain strong</a>, accompanied by buying from foreign central banks, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38649656/how-chinas-central-bank-gold-buying-frenzy-drove-prices-to-record-highs-attracting-gen-z-to-gold-bea" rel="noreferrer noopener">particularly China</a>.
The Fed's anticipated rate cuts could <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40861213/why-interest-rate-cuts-wont-automatically-boost-the-stock-market" rel="noreferrer noopener">lower bond yields</a>, making gold more attractive as it does not generate interest.
In contrast to its positive gold outlook, the bank recently downgraded its projection for iron ore prices. The bank slashed its fourth-quarter 2024 forecast by $15 per metric ton, lowering it to $85 due to concerns of oversupply despite stabilizing demand from China.
Despite China's attempts at economic stimulus and rising steel demand, the broader economic slowdown and the real estate crisis have dampened demand for iron ore. Its futures briefly dipped below $90, reaching the lowest point in almost two years.
Goldman noted that while there might be short-term support due to restocking ahead of the holiday week in October, but the continued buildup of iron ore inventories is likely to drive prices further down.
Supply-demand imbalances have been a key issue for the market, particularly with major players like Brazil's Vale and Australia's BHP maintaining production levels.
Kallanish Consulting analyst Ian Roper explained the current price dynamics <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/international/2024/09/11/iron-ore-tests-floor-as-plunge-to-90-a-ton-puts-mines-at-risk/" rel="noreferrer noopener">for</a> Bloomberg.
"We need to eliminate about 100 million tons to balance this market, and to do that, we need prices to settle in the $80s," he noted.

Goldman Sachs Sees Gold Higher, Takes A Downbeat Stance On Iron Ore

Silver mining stocks have recorded their best weekly performance in over four years, with some exchange-traded funds (ETFs) delivering their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-precious-metals-stocks">highest gains since inception</a>.
A perfect storm of rising gold prices, expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, and a condition of structural global silver supply shortage has propelled prices above $30 per ounce, driving an almost 10% surge this week alone.
Several silver-focused ETFs have outperformed the broader market, benefiting from the rapid rise in prices. Here's a breakdown of their weekly performance as of 3 p.m. ET on Friday:

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Worsening Silver Shortage</h3>
The silver market&#8217;s supply and demand dynamics are only tightening, pushing prices higher. A Silver Institute survey highlighted a growing supply deficit, with demand expected to outstrip supply by 265 million ounces (oz.) this year, marking the steepest shortage since 2020.
In 2024, industrial demand for the metal is forecasted to rise to 710.9 million oz., up from 654 million oz. in 2023, driven largely by increased use in photovoltaic cells for solar energy production.
This demand spike is colliding with a flat supply, creating a structural deficit that's driving prices upward.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Rate Cuts Could Fuel Further Gains</h3>
Investor sentiment around silver and other precious metals is being buoyed by expectations of a near-term Federal Reserve interest rate cut. 
With inflation data aligning with a broader disinflationary trend, market odds currently point to a 49% chance of a 50-basis-point cut during next week's Fed meeting, with the remaining expectations on a 25-basis-point cut, as per CME FedWatch. 
Falling Treasury yields and a weaker dollar have further supported precious metals. 
Gold prices have soared to fresh all-time highs, surpassing $2,560/oz., with silver rallying alongside, notching five consecutive positive trading days this week—its longest winning streak since July.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top-Performing Miners</h3>
Silver mining stocks have outpaced the metal itself, with some posting massive gains. Here are the five top-performing miners this week:

Silver Miner ETFs Notch Best Week Since April 2020 As Rate-Cut Bets Boost Precious Metals: 5 Stocks Surge Over 20% This Week

At midday on Thursday, Wall Street was showing slight gains, with small caps leading the charge. The Russell 2000 index surged 1.2%, outperforming large-cap indices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/small-cap">in a notable rebound.</a>
The session kicked off with the release of the August Producer Price Index (PPI), which revealed mixed inflation data, following a slightly hotter-than-expected underlying consumer inflation picture a day earlier. 
However, the PPI report had little impact on market expectations surrounding future Federal Reserve rate cuts, with traders fully pricing in a reduction in the fed funds rate next week.

Meanwhile, jobless claims remained largely unchanged from the previous week and in line with forecasts, suggesting stability in the labor market. 
Also in line with market expectations, the European Central Bank (ECB) also announced a 25-basis-point cut to the deposit facility rate, lowering it to 3.5%.
The macroeconomic backdrop provided a tailwind for commodities. Gold hit a new all-time high, up 1.7% surpassing $2,550 per ounce, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40838414/gold-miners-eye-best-1-day-rally-in-6-months-as-gold-hits-fresh-record-highs-todays-environment-">boosting mining stocks. </a>
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) surged 4.3% by midday, marking its strongest session since early March 2024.
Silver prices also saw a strong uptick, rallying 3.8%, which pushed the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIL#NYSE">SIL</a>) up by more than 5%, positioning it for its best session since December 2023.
Across the broader commodities complex, oil prices climbed 2.4%, while natural gas spiked 4.5%.
In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) was up 1.1%, rebounding after Wednesday&#8217;s slight dip.

Stocks Edge Up As Producer Inflation Supports Rate Cut Bets, Small Caps, Miners Rally: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Friday is shaping up to be one of the strongest days for metal commodities in recent years. Gold climbed over 1.7% toward a record-high close above $2,400 per ounce, silver surged more than 6% to its highest level since February 2013, and copper hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining">an all-time high.</a>
What Happened: In a week marked by diminishing inflation fears, the case for Federal Reserve rate cuts strengthened. Additionally, news of a broad-based Chinese stimulus to support the struggling real estate sector sent metal commodities skyrocketing. Beijing announced measures such as reducing down payments for homebuyers and a state-financed package to convert unsold<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38895805/china-goes-all-in-as-beijing-vows-to-buy-unsold-properties-chinese-stocks-rally-copper-hits-all-time"> properties into social housing.</a>
Copper, extremely sensitive to China&#8217;s economic health as the country is the top purchaser of the red metal, rallied 4% to above $5 a pound. This surge marked a fresh weekly all-time high and its strongest day since November 2022.
Precious metals like silver and gold positively reacted to both interest-rate and Chinese-related developments. Silver spiked above $30, breaking out of a triple-top resistance pattern.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expert Insights on Metal Commodities</h3>
According to Otavio Costa, macro strategist at Crescat Capital, central banks are &#8220;acquiring gold to enhance the quality of their international reserves and thereby strengthen the credibility of their monetary systems.&#8221; 
He highlighted that unlike many investors and traders, central banks have a long-term perspective, meaning that &#8220;the accumulation of gold by these institutions is just beginning.&#8221;
According to analysts at Goldman Sachs, copper remains a focus amid an ongoing short squeeze that has sent futures to record highs. The investment bank maintains a positive outlook on copper, citing the market&#8217;s structural deficit and forecasting a 20% increase from current levels.
Jeff Currie, former Goldman Sachs commodities strategist and now chief strategy officer of energy pathways at Carlyle Group, stated in a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-17/jeff-currie-says-copper-is-the-best-trade-he-s-seen-in-his-career?sref=TBDibEcD">interview </a>that the red mental still has more room to run, emphasizing copper&#8217;s importance in powering electric vehicles, updated grids and AI data centers.

Silver Rockets To 11-Year Highs, Copper Hits Record Peak, Gold Approaches Historic Close: Mining Stocks' Wild Ride

The stock market is poised to mark a third consecutive session of gains, with major indices all trading in the green during midday trading in New York on Monday, as traders continue to react positively to quarterly earnings and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s unexpectedly dovish stance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/05/38584705/federal-reserve-takes-cautious-stand-on-inflation-powell-signals-preference-for-r">in its latest meeting.</a>
For Q1 2024, 80% of S&amp;P 500 companies have disclosed actual results, with over three quarters of them surpassing EPS estimates and 61% exceeding revenue estimates, according to FactSet.
The S&amp;P 500 rose by 0.4%, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 showing a similar daily surge. Small caps, as measured by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), outperformed large caps, rising by 1.2%.
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) surged over 6% ahead of its Q1 results, set to be released after the market closes.

Commodities performed strongly overall, with natural gas prices surging nearly 6% to a 4-month high. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude oil rose by 1%, on track to break a 5-day losing streak. 
Crude oil faced notable volatility around 12:47 EDT as gains were initially trimmed on news of Hamas accepting a ceasefire proposal, but then it partially recovered those losses after Israeli Forces stated that Hamas had agreed to a modified version not accepted by Israel.
Gold and silver also saw robust demand, with gold up over 0.7% and silver rallying about 3%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) softened 0.8%, with prices retracing after testing the 50-day moving average resistance at $65,500-$65,900 levels.

Stocks On Track For Third Green Session, Palantir Ignites Rally In Chipmakers, Commodities Rebound: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Wall Street is on track for its worst month in 2024 as growing inflation fears and escalating geopolitical tensions weigh on investors&#39; sentiment. With just a day left in the month, the S&amp;P 500 dropped 2.7%, potentially its sharpest decline since September 2023. The Nasdaq Composite experienced a 2.4% decrease, setting it on course for its worst performance since October 2023. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 3.8%, marking its most significant monthly drop since February 2023, per Dow Jones Market Data. 
The decline has been broad-based. Still, a few corners of the broad market, especially mining, have gained. The uncertainty around Fed rate hikes and the current geopolitical situation has brought back the allure of metals, boosting their demand. In particular, two precious metals &mdash; gold and silver &mdash; have been rising on safe-haven demand as both are considered as a store of wealth for investors. They are often used as a means of preserving wealth during times of financial and political uncertainty and usually do well when other asset classes struggle. Factors such as the forthcoming U.S. presidential election, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas conflict enhance both metals&#39; attractiveness to investors. 
Copper and aluminum, the most used industrial metals, have also gained substantially this month on tightening supply conditions and a resurgence in manufacturing activity in the world&#39;s largest economies like the United States and China leading to a surge in demand. The Western ban on Russian metals, hopes of rate cuts, and diversification of holdings of central banks also uplifted the sentiments. 
Acting as leveraged plays on underlying metal prices, metal miners tend to experience huge gains than their bullion cousins in a rising metal market. We have highlighted the five best ETFs from these metal mining sectors. These include Global X Silver Miners ETF (ARCA:SIL), iShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/icop#NASDAQ">ICOP</a>), USCF Aluminum Strategy Fund (ARCA:ALUM), Sprott Nickel Miners ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nikl#NASDAQ">NIKL</a>) and iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ring#NASDAQ">RING</a>). 
Let&#39;s dig into the details of these ETFs: 
Global X Silver Miners ETF (ETF:SIL) &ndash; Up 16.6% 
Global X Silver Miners ETF provides investors access to a broad range of silver mining companies by tracking the Solactive Global Silver Miners Total Return Index.

iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF (ETF:RING) &ndash; Up 10.6%
