Silver's on a tear in 2025. The precious metal just hit record highs around $76.50 an ounce—that's actually more expensive than crude oil futures trading near $56.70 per barrel. Pretty wild when you think about it. For decades, oil dominated as the go-to energy commodity. Now silver's flipping the script. It's catching attention from traders rethinking their portfolio mix, especially as inflation concerns linger and industrial demand for tech applications keeps climbing. Whether this shifts long-term asset allocation strategies remains to be seen, but the crossover's definitely one to watch in 2025's commodity landscape.

Silver is going crazy, and oil prices are being pushed down to the ground for friction. This reversal is too sudden.

The surge in silver is real, and surpassing oil prices was truly unexpected.

Silver has gone crazy this year, it's more expensive than oil? How long will the reversal take before it turns back?

Silver has overtaken oil prices? Damn, how much of a shortage of oil is there?
