ProShares Ultra Silver (AGQ) surged 7.33% during intraday trading on Tuesday, as the leveraged exchange-traded fund magnified gains from a rally in silver prices.
The move reflects broader strength in precious metals, with silver advancing amid geopolitical tensions and risk-on market sentiment. AGQ is designed to deliver twice the daily performance of silver prices, using derivatives to amplify spot metal moves.
Spot silver rallied as geopolitical tensions persisted, with military strikes by the United States and Israel against Iran entering their 11th day. Precious metals often benefit from safe-haven demand during periods of geopolitical uncertainty.
