Silver futures rebounded 10% to $78.03 an ounce on Tuesday after suffering their worst one-day drop in four years on Monday, capping a year in which prices have more than doubled amid safe-haven demand and inflation worries. The sharp selloff was triggered by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s decision to raise margin requirements on silver, gold and other metals following a 150% year-to-date rally, while copper futures—up more than 42% in 2025—also recovered part of their recent losses and U.S.-listed miners like Freeport-McMoRan and Newmont bounced with the broader metals complex.
