Adrian Day, president of Adrian Day Asset Management, shares his thoughts on gold’s price pullback, saying he currently sees no evidence of a top.

‘It’s perfectly normal in middle of a bull market to have a significant correction. This really isn’t even a correction yet, let’s not forget that. This is just a pullback,’ he said.

The rally in silver that began earlier this year has translated into a wave of strong third quarter results for leading industry firms.

The silver market erupted in 2025, breaking the US$30 barrier at the start of the year before accelerating into the spring with a February 20 print of US$32.94 and a Q1 peak of US$34.21 on March 28.

By early June silver hit a 13-year high of US$36.05, topped US$37, by mid-month. The white metal pushed past US$39 in July, and surged through August and September to exceed US$47. Silver went on to shatter its 1980 US dollar record in October to breifly touch US$53 per pounce before pulling back to end the month in the US$47 range.

First Majestic sets new production record

First Majestic Silver (TSX:AG,NYSE:AG) led the quarter’s gains with a 96 percent year-on-year surge in silver production, reaching 3.9 million ounces in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2.0 million ounces a year earlier.

Of this total, 1.4 million ounces came from its recently integrated Los Gatos operation.

Revenue for the quarter soared 95 percent to US$285.1 million, the third consecutive quarter of record sales, driven by higher metal prices and increased output.

Overall, about 56 percent of the total came from silver sales, with the company realizing an average silver-equivalent price of US$39.03 per ounce.

Coeur Mining delivers record results, launches landmark merger

Coeur Mining (NYSE:CDE) marked its second consecutive period of double-digit revenue and production growth. The company produced 4.8 million ounces of silver during the third quarter, up 57 percent year-over-year.

Average realized silver prices rose 15 percent to US$38.93 per ounce compared to the prior quarter, while gold prices increased 4 percent to US$3,148 per ounce.

Coeur delivered another quarter of record financial results, driven by higher prices, balanced contributions from all five of our North American gold and silver operations along with overall strong cost control,” said company President and CEO Mitchell J. Krebs.

Just days after reporting earnings, Coeur announced a US$7 billion all-stock merger with New Gold (TSX:NGD,NYSEAMERICAN:NGD), creating what analysts are calling a “North American powerhouse” in the precious metals space.

The transaction was described as the largest gold-sector merger of 2025. The combined entity will be majority-owned by Coeur shareholders (62 percent) and will operate exclusively in North America.

Royal Gold benefits from higher metal prices

Royal Gold (NASDAQ:RGLD) reported record quarterly revenue of US$252.1 million and operating cash flow of US$174 million in the third quarter of 2025, driven by higher average realized prices for gold, silver, and copper.

Net income reached US$126.8 million, or US$1.92 per share, while adjusted net income rose to US$136.2 million, or US$2.06 per share—both among the highest in the company’s history.

The royalty and streaming company’s revenue mix for the quarter was dominated by gold (78 percent), followed by silver (12 percent) and copper (7 percent).

“Our portfolio performed very well and allowed us to take full advantage of the materially higher gold and silver prices in the quarter, and the record gold price directly benefited our results,” said President and CEO Bill Heissenbuttel.

In August, the company finalized a US$1.0 billion gold streaming agreement with First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM,OTC Pink:FQVLF)

Endeavour Silver nears new production phase

Endeavour Silver (TSX:EDR,NYSE:EXK) reported steady output as its portfolio continued to perform in line with expectations.

Consolidated silver production driven by higher throughput at Guanaceví and the inclusion of its new Kolpa mine in the third quarter rose 102 percent year-over-year to 1.77 million ounces. Silver-equivalent output totaled 3.0 million ounces when accounting for gold and base metals.

CEO Dan Dickson said, “Our legacy mines continue to provide steady results, Kolpa is meeting expectations and integrating smoothly, and with Terronera nearing commercial production, we are entering the next phase of growth with significant momentum.”

The Terronera project, now in the final stages before commercial production, achieved average silver recoveries of 82.8 percent and gold recoveries of 72.3 percent in September.

Americas Gold and Silver doubles silver output

Americas Gold and Silver (TSX:USA) capped the quarter with one of the strongest percentage gains in the industry.

The company’s consolidated silver production surged 98 percent year-over-year to 765,000 ounces, supported by operational gains at the Galena Complex in Idaho and higher-grade ore zones at the Cosalá Operations in Mexico.

CEO Paul Andre Huet said the quarter marked a turning point for the company’s US operations.

Huet noted: “Our operation in Idaho is now starting to deliver results after spending significant effort underground at Galena conducting numerous time studies, engineering work, productivity-focused projects, implementing new equipment and adjusting the mining method.”

China has confirmed a major milestone in nuclear science after achieving the world’s first successful conversion of thorium into uranium fuel inside a working molten salt reactor.

The experimental thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR), developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP) in the Gobi Desert, is the first in the world to demonstrate stable thorium-based fission.

The reactor has been operating since achieving first criticality in October 2023 and, according to SINAP, has now produced experimental data confirming thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion — the process that “breeds” uranium-233 from thorium-232, a naturally abundant element.

Li Qingnuan, Communist Party secretary and deputy director at SINAP, told Science and Technology Daily that “since achieving first criticality on October 11, 2023, the thorium molten salt reactor has been steadily generating heat through nuclear fission.”

Unlike traditional nuclear reactors that rely on solid uranium rods, the TMSR uses liquid fuel dissolved in molten fluoride salt, which acts both as fuel and coolant. This design allows for continuous refueling and efficient energy output without shutting down operations.

“This design not only dramatically improves fuel utilisation but also significantly reduces the volume of long-lived radioactive waste,” Li added.

The core process involves thorium-232 absorbing neutrons to become uranium-233—a fissile isotope capable of sustaining a chain reaction. Because this transformation happens inside the reactor itself, it eliminates the need for external fuel fabrication and enables a self-sustaining “burn while breeding” cycle that could yield virtually limitless energy.

Through this achievement, China’s success addresses one of its longest-standing energy constraints: uranium scarcity. The country currently imports more than 80 percent of its uranium, leaving its nuclear sector vulnerable to geopolitical risks and market fluctuations.

By contrast, thorium is far more abundant. China is estimated to hold 1.3 to 1.4 million tonnes of thorium, with vast deposits in Inner Mongolia’s Bayan Obo mine alone containing enough material to power the nation for more than a thousand years.

Furthermore, fourth-generation molten salt reactors (MSRs) are widely regarded as a safer and more efficient alternative to conventional reactors. They operate at atmospheric pressure and use chemically stable salts that trap radioactive materials, minimizing the risk of high-pressure explosions or leaks.

The breakthrough positions China as a frontrunner in next-generation nuclear energy, a field long dominated by Western research that has struggled to reach operational reality.

While the US, France, and Japan have previously explored thorium-based reactors, none has succeeded in bringing one to sustained operation.

Currently, China has more reactors under construction than the rest of the world combined and is building them at twice the speed of Western competitors. According to Nature, while US nuclear construction costs have ballooned over the past five decades, China’s have fallen by half.

Construction of the experimental TMSR-LF1 began in 2018 and accelerated ahead of schedule, with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment approving commissioning in 2022. The reactor reached first criticality in October 2023, achieved full power in mid-2024, and completed the world’s first thorium fuel loading experiment later that year.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences launched the TMSR program in 2011 as part of a national drive to develop sustainable energy technologies and reduce carbon emissions.

Sun Silver (ASX:SS1) will commence trading on the US OTCQX market following strong US investor interest, the company said earlier this week.

The OTCQX trading allows US investors to trade the company’s shares in US dollars and during the US market hours.

According to Sun Silver, US investor interest came after its completion of an AU$30 million placement to advance its Maverick Springs silver and gold project in Nevada last July.

Coincidentally, silver was included in the US Department of Interior’s Draft 2025 Critical Minerals List, which was updated in August.

“Commencing trading on the OTCQX represents a major step forward in Sun Silver’s U.S. growth strategy,” said Sun Silver Managing Director Andrew Dornan. “Our Nevada-based Maverick Springs Project is ideally positioned to benefit from growing recognition of silver’s critical role in clean energy and technology supply chains.”

Maverick Springs holds an updated JORC inferred mineral resource estimate of 480 million ounces of silver equivalent at 68.29 grams per tonne silver equivalent.

The company said on its website that it is the largest pre-production primary silver deposit on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

“(This) dual quotation on the OTC Market will not only broaden its investor base but also align Sun Silver with the world’s most sophisticated silver investment community at a time of heightened demand and increasing strategic value for the metal,” the company said.

It also cited the rise of antimony in the global market, highlighting JPMorgan’s recent US$75 million investment for nearly a three percent stake in Perpetua Resources’ (TSX:PPTA,NASDAQ:PPTA)

Perpetua is known for its 4.8 million ounce Stibnite gold mine in Idaho, which has a historic record of producing 90 percent of the US’ antimony output during World War II.

The company added that in this context, advancing projects such as Maverick Springs, which “hosts widespread antimony mineralisation alongside silver and gold mineralisation,” present a significant opportunity.

Sun Silver’s shares will continue to trade on the ASX under “SS1,” which will remain its primary listing.

Uranium has fully landed in decentralized finance (DeFi), following the launch of xU3O8-based lending on DeFi aggregator Oku and powered by Morpho, the universal network that connects lenders and borrowers to the best possible opportunities worldwide. In a watershed moment for the DeFi sector, holders of xU3O8, the world’s first tokenized physical uranium product, will be able to leverage physical uranium as collateral for DeFi loans, supplying the token in exchange for USDC via a new vault that launched today using Morpho’s infrastructure. In this way, users of the vault can secure loans while maintaining their exposure to the asset that looks set to underpin the nuclear energy revival.

Commenting on the integration and the launch of the new vault, Ben Elvidge, Product Lead at Uranium.io and Head of Commercial Applications at Trilitech (Tezos R&D Hub in London), said, ‘Integrating with Morpho represents a significant step in uranium market maturation. We’re bringing DeFi lending capabilities to a commodity that has historically been trapped in opaque OTC markets with limited liquidity options.”

By depositing their xU3O8 in the vault, uranium investors can easily unlock liquidity and explore the thriving DeFi ecosystem on Etherlink, the EVM-compatibility layer for Tezos. Recent months have seen the integration of numerous new DeFi protocols on Etherlink, driving TVL to record heights in October and signaling widespread interest among DeFi users in the growing network. Meanwhile, existing DeFi users who may not already have exposure to uranium gain access to a novel use case combining exposure to a commodity that was previously only available to institutional investors with DeFi infrastructure. The xU3O8 token represents beneficial ownership of physical uranium stored at facilities operated by Cameco, one of the world’s largest uranium providers, with support from Curzon Uranium, a global uranium trading company, and Archax, the first registered crypto service provider in the UK.

“For users, the product offers an easier way into tokenized uranium investments and liquidity management. For Oku, it underscores our continued expansion into real-world assets, moving DeFi beyond purely digital collateral,” said Dan Zajac, BD Lead at Oku.

Since its launch in late 2022, Morpho has quickly become one of the largest DeFi lending protocols, with $10B+ in deposits and a $6.52B TVL. The integration with uranium.io, following similar integrations with Coinbase and Crypto.com, demonstrates the protocol’s ability to support sophisticated real-world asset use cases beyond traditional crypto collateral.

Recent institutional research reveals 97% of institutional investors would consider uranium investment if access were simplified, highlighting growing demand for uranium exposure in investment portfolios. The uranium market faces a supply-demand imbalance, with global production at approximately 155 million lbs annually falling short of demand at 197 million lbs.

About Oku

Oku is a premier DeFi aggregator live on 35+ chains offering 0% fees across 14 swap and 11 bridge routers to connect users with S-tier apps in crypto. As a leading interface for Uniswap v3 and Morpho, Oku makes transacting 1000+ tokens across EVM chains seamless and fast. One click. Every chain.For more information, visit https://oku.trade/.

About Moprho

Morpho is the most trusted onchain lending network with $10B+ in deposits. Businesses can connect to Morpho’s open infrastructure to power any lending or borrowing use case at scale, including embedded crypto-backed loans and custom yield solutions.

About Uranium.io (xU3O8)

Uranium.io (xU3O8) is redefining access to one of the world’s most strategic resources. xU3O8 makes it possible to digitally own and transfer uranium using Etherlink, an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollup technology. The initiative is supported by Curzon, a global uranium trading company, and Archax, the first registered digital securities crypto exchange in the UK. xU3O8 gives you digital ownership of uranium securely stored in a regulated depository operated by Cameco, one of the world’s largest uranium providers. Through xU3O8, ownership of the uranium stored in secure facilities is digitally recorded, taking advantage of the efficiencies created by using blockchain technology. https://uranium.io/

Investor appetite for safe-haven assets resulted in a record quarter for gold demand in Q3 2025, according to the World Gold Council’s (WGC) latest report.

The WGC published its Gold Demand Trends Q3 report on October 30, which clearly demonstrates that investor demand for gold is exploding as economic and geopolitical uncertainty continues to plague the markets.

During the third quarter of this year, the gold price climbed by 16 percent, setting new record highs 13 times along the way. The WGC estimates an average quarterly price of US$3456.54 per ounce, which is 5 percent over the previous quarter and 40 percent higher than the average in Q3 2024.

Overall, gold demand for Q3 2025 is up 3 percent over the same quarter last year, with the value of that demand up 44 percent year-over-year to a record US$146 billion. This is despite demand for the yellow metal from the jewelry and technology segments dropping 23 percent and 2 percent, respectively, compared to last year’s Q3 figures.

Investors betting on gold as stagflation hedge

Much of 2025’s gold demand growth is due in large part to the investment segment, which year-to-date has reached 1,556 metric tons. That’s a mere 6 percent of the record reached in the first three quarters of 2020. In terms of dollar value, investors have purchased US$161 billion in gold assets in the first three quarters of the year.

Investor sentiment is increasingly leaning toward growing stagflation fears.

The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy is creating a favorable environment for gold as well.

“The lowering of rates again lowers the opportunity cost of holding gold in a portfolio,” he added. “So you’re looking at factors that are lining up for preservation of value and purchasing power against fiat currency and slow economic growth.”

That’s why in 2025 investors are piling into gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and adding gold bars and coins to their portfolios at a record pace, accounting for more than half of total demand compared to one-third last year. In response, WGC has revised their 2025 gold investment demand forecast upward.

Gold ETFs score strongest Q3 since 2020

Total investment demand for gold in Q3 2025 came in at 537.2 metric tons, up 13 percent over Q2 2025 and 47 percent from Q3 in the previous year.

Gold ETFs are the biggest driver in the investment demand segment in terms of gains, having attracted a lot of investor attention in 2025. The third quarter was emblematic of this trend, with gold ETF demand totalling 222 metric tons. That’s up 30 percent over the second quarter and posting a whopping 134 percent gain over Q3 2024. In terms of value, the quarter brought in a record US$24 billion in gold ETF inflows.

Cavatoni attributed the rapid growth in ETF demand to the realization among Western investors that risk and uncertainty are prevalent in the equity markets now. He added that the WGC definitely sees this trend continuing to shape demand for gold ETFs.

Year-to-date gold ETF inflows reached 619 metric tons at a value of US$64 billion. Regionally, the three biggest markets for gold ETFs so far this year have been North America (346 metric tons), followed by Europe (148 metric tons) and Asia (118 metric tons).

Despite higher prices for the precious metal, gold ETF inflows are still charging upward in the last quarter of the year. And according to the WGC report, “historical analysis suggests gold ETFs still have room to grow.”

Gold bar and coin demand remains strong

Fear of missing out, or FOMO, according to the WGC, has induced investors to continue to scoop up gold bars and coins even as prices for the metal skyrocketed in September. Hence, the third quarter of 2025 at 315.5 metric tons of gold purchases represents the fourth successive quarter that this segment of the market has seen demand levels above 300 metric tons.

All told, gold bar and coin demand in Q3 2025 was up 3 percent over Q2 2025 and 17 percent over Q3 2024.

Regionally, India was the brightest spot, accounting for 91.6 metric tons of gold bar and coin purchases in the third quarter with a record value of more than US$10 billion. India’s appetite for gold bars and coins surpassed even China, for which the WGC reported 73.7 metric tons, up 19 percent over the previous quarter.

The WGC attributed some of the increased demand to “jewellery consumers switching to lower-margin pure investment products”. This is a phenomenon unique to Asia where gold jewelry is traditionally a form of savings, wealth preservation and used for dowries.

On the flipside, the US (7.2 metric tons) was the only regional market to experience a year-overy-yea decline (64 percent) in gold bar and coin demand. However, Cavatoni was quick to point out that there was actually a lot of buying and profit-taking based selling occurring in this space in the third quarter. Buying accelerated in September following news that gold bars would be exempt from Trump tariffs, and that trend has continued into October leading the WGC to forecast a stronger Q4.

“I suspect [Q4 is] going to tell us a different story, which is that most of the bar and coin demand in the Western markets, particularly the US will show a shift into net purchasing,” explained Cavatoni.

Central banks remain net buyers of gold

In the first nine months of the year, central banks bought 633 metric tons of gold compared to the 724 metric tons added during the same period in 2024.

Although the pace has slowed in recent quarters, central bank buying continues to be a major theme for the gold demand story. For Q3 2025, central bank inflows grew by 28 percent over the previous quarter to reach 220 metric tons.

The central banks of Poland, China, Turkey, Kazakhstan and India continue to be the predominant purchasers of gold. Interestingly, the quarter also saw a few participants enter the space who had hitherto been on the sidelines. This includes the central bank of Brazil (15 metric tons), which previously hadn’t made gold purchases since July 2021.

Cavatoni notes that central banks are still signalling they are keen to strategically build out their gold reserves despite record gold prices. “There’s trade tensions, geopolitical tensions. There’s fear and questions over the US’ desired outcome in terms of sanctions and control,” he explained.

“There’s also a dependency on the dollar and the euro. In our annual survey, the central banks continue to indicate to us that that dependency is going to lower over the next five years.’

In particular, he emphasized that the central banks in the emerging markets are looking for viable alternatives to dollar-based assets in order to diversify their reserves in the face of global and domestic challenges and they are finding that gold fits the bill.

For those reasons, the WGC has revised its expectations for gold demand from this segment. It now sees central banks picking up between 750 to 900 metric tons of gold for 2025.
