Silver ETF Trading Volume Surges to Record Levels

Eric Balchunas, senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, posted on X that the Silver ETF ($SLV) experienced a remarkable surge in trading activity, with shares worth $40 billion exchanged yesterday. This figure surpasses the total trading volume of $35 billion recorded in the first quarter of last year, encompassing January, February, and March. The options volume for $SLV has also reached unprecedented heights. In pre-market trading, $SLV has already achieved $1.5 billion in volume, which is three times higher than any other ETF and five times more than major companies like Tesla and Nvidia. This extraordinary trading activity draws parallels to the unexpected market phenomena seen with GameStop, highlighting the surprising nature of the current market dynamics.
