    Silver Rebounds to $64 on Sustained AI Data Center Demand

    Question

    Silver Rebounds to $64 on Sustained AI Data Center Demand

    Direct answer

    While gold remains a stability play, silver is increasingly viewed as a 'tech metal' due to its conductivity requirements in high-density AI servers and power systems. The rebound to $64 suggests that despite hyperscaler capex concerns, the physical buildout remains robust. Investors are shifting toward streaming models like Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM) to capture upside while mitigating the operational risks of direct mining.
