In a year where artificial intelligence (AI) has often been the center of attention, metals and mining stocks have exceeded expectations and emerged as one of the most lucrative investments of 2025. Gold, which has always been considered a safe haven, has seen a remarkable 57 percent rise this year, surpassing $4,000 an ounce. This development is being driven by a combination of economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, prompting investors to invest in safer assets.
Economic uncertainty, compounded by rising government debt and inflation fears, has fueled the so-called ‘devaluation trade’, in which investors invest in gold to hedge against currency devaluation. Experts like Ray Dalio recommend keeping a significant portion of your portfolio in gold to protect against economic turmoil. This strategy has proven particularly beneficial as gold has outperformed both the S&P 500 and Bitcoin this year.
Silver, which is often overshadowed by gold, has also seen a notable rise. A short squeeze in London sent silver futures to their highest level since 1980. This development shows that lesser-known precious metals are also benefiting from the current market dynamics. Demand for silver is further supported by its industrial use in areas such as electronics and renewable energy.
Mining stocks have also made significant gains this year. Companies like MP Materials and Lithium Americas posted impressive price increases of 479 percent and 222 percent, respectively. This development is partly due to the US government’s interest in securing critical rare earth supply chains. The government has already invested in several companies and plans to further expand its holdings to reduce dependence on imports from China.
The strategic importance of metals and mining stocks is also recognized by leading financial institutions. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon emphasized the need to invest in the mining and processing of critical minerals to ensure national security. These initiatives underscore the growing importance of metals in an increasingly uncertain global economy.
