Wall Street Journal TODAY: https://www.wsj.com/articles/silver-surges-as-gamestop-day-traders-move-into-other-assets-11611848703?adobe_mc=MCMID%3D14316099258888592421248190909319769224%7CMCORGID%3DCB68E4BA55144CAA0A4C98A5%2540AdobeOrg%7CTS%3D1611849048

The day traders are moving into commodities.

Silver futures prices and shares of silver miners are climbing Thursday after a user in Reddit’s popular WallStreetBets forum posted about executing a “short squeeze” in the notoriously volatile precious metal.

Most actively traded silver futures added nearly 6% to $26.82 a troy ounce, while U.S.-listed shares of First Majestic Silver Corp. , a mining company, added 30% shortly after the opening bell. The iShares Silver Trust , a popular exchange-traded fund tied to silver, is also rallying.

Silver prices had generally been muted in recent weeks, staying in a tight trading range alongside other precious metals that was well below the multiyear highs it hit during a rally last summer. But Thursday’s gain was pushing the metal back near that nearly eight-year peak.

The moves represent what some analysts called an inevitable move by day traders into other asset classes following outsize gains in popular stocks like GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. The moves have captivated Wall Street as individual investors take on hedge funds that wagered on declines in those stocks, and big swings in the silver market could add to the frenetic trading.
