Gold vs Silver: Which Had Better Performance?

Over the last Year (Feb 2025 - Feb 2026)

🌟Gold — Started around $2,600–$2,700/oz (early 2025 levels), now ~$5,040–$5,060/oz → Up ~85–95% (strong rally, with 2025 alone delivering ~65% gains in many reports).

🌟Silver — Started around $28–$30/oz (early 2025), now ~$81–$83/oz (after sharp corrections in early Feb 2026 from peaks over $100–$120) → Up ~170–190% (massive outperformance, with 2025 gains reported at 145–150% or even 163% in some aggregates).

📌Silver had dramatically better percentage performance over the past year. It crushed gold's returns — often or more — driven by explosive industrial demand (solar, EVs, electronics), persistent supply deficits, and speculative fervor.

đŸ’„ recent early 2026 volatility :

Both metals hit historic highs in late 2025/Jan 2026 (gold ~$5,600+, silver ~$120+), then corrected sharply in February (gold -25%+ from peak in days, silver -40%+ in some stretches). Despite the pullback, silver still shows stronger net gains from a year ago, and the gold/silver ratio has fallen from ~90–100:1 in mid-2025 to ~62–65:1 now — a classic sign of silver outperforming.
