On August 5, ProShares Ultra Silver rose 8.03% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $72.86/share, with turnover of $8.1486 million.
On the news front, US Treasury Secretary Bessent indicated that negotiations with Iran are underway, with the potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz under discussion. This development triggered a sharp rebound in precious metals prices, with spot silver surging over 3.5% to above $60.93 per ounce. Silver had already been supported by safe-haven buying driven by elevated US-Iran geopolitical tensions, combined with robust industrial demand from photovoltaic and electronics sectors, providing strong bullish momentum.
As a leveraged ETF that seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of silver bullion, ProShares Ultra Silver amplified the underlying metal's gains, driving the product's significant pre-market advance. The broader precious metals complex has maintained strength in recent weeks, with silver previously trading near $57-58 levels ahead of the Federal Reserve rate decision and steadily climbing on geopolitical risk premiums.
