After soaring past $63 per ounce for the first time, silver’s total market value climbed to about $3.593 trillion—just enough to edge above Microsoft’s $3.59 trillion valuation.
This surge caps an extraordinary run for silver in 2025. Since the start of the year, when it traded near $29 per ounce, the metal has rallied more than 115%.
Market Cap
With its latest rally, silver now sits ahead of both Microsoft and Amazon, the latter valued at $2.46 trillion, but still trails Alphabet, which holds a market cap of roughly $3.8 trillion.
In just a few months, silver has transformed from a steady commodity into one of the world’s most valuable and closely watched assets—rewriting the global market leaderboard in the process.
Renewed expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in December have boosted sentiment. Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like silver, making it more attractive to investors.
A major driver of this rally is renewed anticipation of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December. Lower interest rates reduce the “opportunity cost” of holding assets like silver that don’t generate yield, making them more appealing to investors seeking stability or inflation protection.
World’s 5th Largest Asset
Silver has created history in the global market. The value of silver has now crossed Microsoft, making it the world’s 5th-largest asset. This jump shows how fast investor interest in silver is rising as demand increases in industries like electronics, solar panels, and EVs.
Experts say that if the demand continues, silver may move even higher in the global asset ranking. For Indian investors too, this can be a big opportunity as silver prices may stay strong in the coming months.
“The US Federal Reserve decision to cut key interest rates by 25 bps to 3.50%-3.75% amid persistent inflation has reinforced bullish sentiment in precious metals. Lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold and silver, attracting fresh investment flows. With bullion already at record highs, this policy shift adds momentum to the rally, as investors seek safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures.
Additionally, the post-cut weakening of the US dollar further supports gold and silver prices, as a softer greenback makes these metals more affordable for global buyers. The sharp rally in bullion is underpinned by structural supply deficits, robust industrial demand for silver, and sustained ETF inflows. Technical breakouts above long-standing resistance levels have amplified buying interest, while geopolitical risks and inflation hedging continue to fuel long-term bullish outlooks despite short-term volatility.”
