On August 14, First Majestic Silver rose 5.3% in regular trading, trading at $19.68/share, with turnover of $24.16 million. The rally was driven by spot silver breaking above the $65/oz level, fueling broad-based strength across the precious metals mining sector.
On the news front, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and rising energy transport risks through the Strait of Hormuz have intensified safe-haven demand for precious metals. Silver's industrial attributes are further supported by growing demand from new energy and electronics manufacturing sectors, keeping the supply-demand structure tight. Technically, silver prices are running above the 20-day moving average with the bullish structure intact.
Within the Silver sector, peers rallied in tandem: Hecla Mining up 4.29%, Endeavour Silver up 4.66%, Silvercorp Metals up 3.74%, and Vizsla Silver Corp up 2.81%.
