Will Silver Ever Break to the Upside?
I asked if silver was back on a bullish path in an April 17, 2025, Barchart article. I concluded that: It may only be a matter of time before a herd of buyers descends on the silver market as the technical trend remains bullish, the fundamental deficit supports higher prices, and silver has become historically inexpensive compared to gold. A move over $37.58 per ounce will confirm the bullish trend and could lead to a parabolic move. Nearby COMEX silver futures were at $32.985 per ounce on April 16 and was higher in late May 2025. However, the trend remains bullish, and silver can potentially surprise on the upside over the coming months. Silver's technical trend is bullish Silver's long-term path of least resistance remains bullish in late May 2025. The seven-year continuous monthly COMEX silver futures chart highlights that the precious metal has made higher lows and higher highs since finding a bottom at the March 2020 low of $11.64 per ounce. Silver's most recent high of $35.495 in March 2025 was the highest price since March 2012. Silver's deficit means fundamentals agree with technicals In its April annual silver survey, The Silver Institute forecast 2025 silver supplies at 1.0306 billion ounces, with total demand at 1.148.3 billion ounces. The 117.70 million ounce fundamental deficit was the fifth consecutive year where demand outstripped supplies. Each year, investment and speculative demand are crucial for the path of least resistance of silver prices. Given the bullish technical trend, the fundamental data supports a continuation of higher highs for the silver price. Moreover, the next upside technical target is the early 2012 $37.58 peak, which could be a gateway to a challenge of the 2011 $49.82 high and the 1980 record peak of $50.32 per ounce. A move over the $37.58 level could unleash a herd of buyers in the silver market. The silver-gold ratio has been a relative value indicator for centuries, first proclaimed by the Egyptian Pharoah Menes, who died in 3125 BC. Menes declared that two and a half parts of silver equal one part of gold. The thirty-year chart of the price of the continuous COMEX gold futures contract divided by the continuous COMEX silver futures contract ({GCM25}/{SIN25}) shows that the silver-gold ratio has been as low as 31.662:1 in 2011 when silver traded to nearly $50 per ounce, and as high as 124.648:1 in 2020 when silver fell to the $11.64 per ounce bottom. While the ratio has been trending higher since the 2011 low, it remains historically high. The relative value metric tells us that silver is inexpensive compared to gold at current prices. The gold market has received lots of press as the price has risen to record highs in 2024 and 2025, while silver prices remain substantially below the record peak. However, market participants seeking value in the precious metals could turn to silver over the coming weeks, months, and years, as gold prices have experienced a parabolic rally. Buying on weakness has been optimal since 2020 The seven-year monthly silver chart highlights that every significant downside correction in silver, including the 2020 low that led to the $11.64 bottom, has been a golden buying opportunity. At the most recent $35.495 2025 high, silver had over tripled from the 2020 low. The most recent example was the April 7 risk-off lows created by the Trump administration's April 2 ' Liberation Day ' announcement that rolled out unprecedented tariffs on trading partners to level the playing field. The daily chart of July COMEX silver futures shows the spike to a $27.845 per ounce April 7 low, a golden opportunity for silver accumulation. The price moved over $6 higher sixteen days later on April 23, 2025. Buying silver on price weakness has been optimal over the past years. SLV is the most liquid silver ETF product The most direct route for a long risk or investment position in silver is the physical market for bars and coins. However, silver is a bulky commodity, inhibiting self-storage, and third-party storage involves insurance and vaulting expenses. Moreover, independent dealer's bid-offer spreads on physical silver tend to be far wider than in the COMEX futures or London wholesale silver market. While the futures provide a physical delivery mechanism, they involve margin, creating leverage. The most liquid silver ETF product is the iShares Silver Trust (SLV), which invests its considerable assets in allocated and unallocated silver bullion. At $30.45 per share, SLV had over $14.75 billion in assets under management. SLV trades an average of over 14.75 million shares daily and charges a 0.50% management fee. The most recent rally in silver futures for July delivery took the price 22.16% higher from $27.845 on April 7 to a high of $34.015 on April 25. Over around the same period, SLV rose 15.24% from $26.57 to $30.62 per share. The reason for SLV's underperformance is that the silver ETF can miss highs or lows when the stock market is closed, as the volatile silver futures trade around the clock. With silver over the $32 per ounce level, the critical upside target is the $37.58 technical resistance level. Silver's relative value versus gold, the fundamental deficit, and the path of least resistance of silver prices since the 2020 low all point to a break above the resistance and a challenge of the 2011 and 1980 highs. However, buying on price weakness will likely remain optimal in the volatile silver market.

Brenmiller Energy's Nears Its Transformative TES Market Moment ($BNRG)
HPM has been covering the integration of thermal energy storage (TES) into the global energy mix heavily throughout 2025. The questions we get back aren't asking why —they're asking what. As in, what exactly is TES, and is it another complicated, drawn-out energy market investment proposition? We get it. The term "thermal energy storage" itself often deters readers from continuing. But here's the reality: it's a remarkably simple concept that's being embraced by energy providers in the know—particularly those who know what's coming. The concept's beauty lies in its simplicity—heat up a material, store that heat, and release it when it's needed. That's it. Whether it's crushed rock, sand, or another heat-retaining medium, the idea is straightforward: capture energy when it's abundant, cheap, and renewable, and deploy it when it's valuable. No exotic minerals, no dangerous chemical reactions, no moving parts. Just clever thermal engineering solving a problem batteries weren't built to solve. Of course, delivering that value at a commercial scale is where things get more complex. That's the hard part—and that's the part Brenmiller Energy (NASDAQ: BNRG) has already figured out. Thanks to Brenmiller, TES isn't some future-tech pipedream. It's live. It's real. It's working now. A Distinction Worthy Of Value While other high-valuation private TES startups talk about what they hope to build, Brenmiller is doing it. Right now. And that distinction matters—especially when BNRG is trading at a valuation of roughly $5.6 million, compared to private-sector peers who have valuations in the hundreds of millions despite, for the most part, still being clutched in development mode. To put it directly, investors should consider capitalizing on this massive valuation disconnect before the window closes. And it's starting to. BNRG's trading volume has exploded higher, with recent sessions running more than 10X above average daily volume. It's not hard to see why. Investors are catching on, particularly after a recent capital raise sent shares lower—creating an entry point that's rightfully attracting serious attention. Keep in mind that when you see ADV statistics, they're skewed higher now due to massive volume surges, with shares trading in the tens of millions compared to the tens of thousands just weeks ago. The point is this—the interest in BNRG is well-deserved. With electrification and renewables reshaping the global energy mix, the industry and investors are finally catching up to a reality Brenmiller Energy has been acting on for years: batteries and solar panels alone can't solve industrial heat or grid stability. Especially not at scale and not 24/7/365. That's where TES comes in. TES Can Be Energy's Most-Valued Partner It's cost-effective. It's durable. And unlike lithium-ion systems, it doesn't degrade, overheat, or depend on fragile global supply chains. TES fills the gap that batteries can't reach—replacing fossil-fuel-powered industrial tools, such as boilers, reducing demand charges, providing cost-of-energy certainty, and unlocking the full potential of renewables by absorbing excess generation and dispatching it as heat or steam whenever and wherever it's needed. In other words, it brings order to chaos. Just as important, TES isn't locked into one format. It integrates on the grid—through demand response programs and virtual power plants—and off the grid, where energy independence isn't optional; it's required. The SolWinHy green methanol project in Spain proves the point: entirely disconnected from the national grid, it operates on solar and wind energy. That's a great start. But where things matter most—energy delivery and system stability—SolWinHy will rely on Brenmiller's TES to make it all function. That distinction matters. And it should be valued. The European Hydrogen Bank allocated €7 million of SolWinHy's €25 million grant directly to Brenmiller. That's a sovereign endorsement of BNRG's bGen™ system and its irreplaceable role in the clean energy value chain. The better news for BNRG is that SolWinHy is likely just the first domino to drop in a model expected to be repeated across Europe and beyond. In other words, there is plenty more to appreciate and factor in when appraising BNRG. Supporting The Value Proposition Start with the fundamentals. In a space where being first matters, Brenmiller Energy isn't just early—they're proven. While names like Rondo Energy have achieved $500 million valuations based on future potential, Brenmiller has more than $40 million worth of infrastructure already deployed. Yet its market cap still trades at just $5.6 million on June 2nd. That kind of disparity doesn't last forever, especially with the soon-to-be-funded SolWinHy project in its pocket. It also helps that BNRG remains the only pure-play TES stock available to U.S. investors. There is no ETF or broader basket. If you want exposure to industrial-scale thermal storage, this is it. Need more to justify the value proposition? Check this slew of partnerships. Brenmiller has formed strategic alliances with Entelios in Germany to integrate TES into advanced grid systems, with Viridi Energy and Green Enesys in Spain, and with Rock Energy in the USA to deliver carbon-neutral heating across institutional buildings and campuses. These aren't speculative collaborations. They're revenue-aligned, deployment-driven relationships with a clear commercial roadmap. A Milestone Is Weeks Away But timing may be the most critical part of this story. The company's next major commercial deployment, at the Tempo Beverage plant in Israel, is slated for July 2025. That's not years away; it's weeks away. With that added validation, more than €200 million of European pipeline activity is lining up behind it. And with SolWinHy, potentially another sovereign-funded order at any time. The kicker—beyond the pipeline, Brenmiller Energy is exploring IP monetization to generate near- and long-term shareholder value without dilution. To put it simply, the pieces are in place for BNRG to realize its transformative TES moment. Not years from now, but weeks from now. With real deployments, partnerships, sovereign validation, and a validated TES platform, it's hard to say this in any other way—seize this investment opportunity while the discount window is open. If the adage "volume precedes price" is valid, it's already starting to close. Disclaimers and Disclosures: Hawk Point Media Group, LLC.
