Metals Soar: Silver, Copper, Nickel Rally Up to 7% on Global Supply Fears & China Demand

• Silver, Copper, and Nickel surged up to 7% on MCX on December 30, 2025, with Silver gaining 5.5%, Copper 4.5%, and Nickel 7%.
• Global supply crisis due to mine strikes in Chile and stricter export policies from Indonesia fueled the rally.
• Fear of potential Trump tariffs (25-60%) and renewed US-China trade war led to precautionary stockpiling, boosting prices.
• Strong demand recovery from China in EV, solar, and 5G sectors, coupled with planned output cuts by Chinese smelters, supported the surge.
• A weak Dollar Index (around 98.5) and expectations of 2-3 interest rate cuts in 2026 made commodities more attractive, further strengthening the rally.

Why It Matters: Global supply crunch, strong demand, and economic factors drove a sharp rally in Silver, Copper, and Nickel.
