Geopolitical uncertainty, coronavirus-related mine closures and supply chain disruptions all impacted silver’s performance in the first quarter of 2020.
As the white metal experienced volatility and steadily trended lower during March, it’s little surprise that many junior companies in the sector felt the effects.
Yet despite less-than-favorable price movement from the currency metal, some companies were able to grow their share prices over the period and increase their value potential for investors.
