Gold silver investing momentum is sustained by ETF reserves

Gold silver investing momentum is sustained by ETF reserves climbing; gold-backed ETF holdings rose 2.4% in May, reversing a four-month decline. That charge taps into a long-standing concern among precious metals investors. Over the past decade, major financial institutions such as JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank have faced investigations and fines for practices like “spoofing” in the precious metals market, where traders place and cancel large orders to distort prices. (2) Americas Gold & Silver sits at this intersection, offering traditional precious metals exposure enhanced by strategic mineral production. The US government's shift from reliance on Chinese antimony supply to domestic sourcing represents a multi-decade trend that could transform previously marginal deposits into strategic assets. With $2+ billion in government funding flowing to antimony projects and the Department of Defense directly contracting for supply, the sector mirrors the successful government-supported development of domestic lithium and rare earth supply chains. Analysts in gold silver investing are eyeing US dollar weakness following dovish Fed minutes, which could propel gold above $2,380/oz and silver past $28/oz near-term.
