Silver has had a monster run, and traders who wanted to amplify the move reached for the ProShares Ultra Silver (NYSEARCA:AGQ).
Silver extended its decline for a third consecutive session on Monday, with XAG/USD trading around $74.20 per troy ounce during Asian hours. Investors reacted to India's surprise restrictions on silver imports, rising expectations of another Federal Reserve rate hike and weaker investment demand projections from UBS.
Silver prices surged 7% Monday to the highest since March.
Silver bulls finally got their moonshot. ProShares Ultra Silver, the 2x daily leveraged silver futures ETF, returned roughly 184% over the past year as a COMEX physical-delivery squeeze reshaped the futures curve.
ProShares UltraPro Silver (AGQ) ETF did deliver a +311% price return since my last bullish article in August 2023, far outpacing the S&P 500. I am downgrading AGQ from Buy to Sell, projecting a significant silver price correction to continue over the next 3–6 months. I am thinking AGQ will potentially fall to $65–$80, well below its 200-day moving average, as silver's bull run pauses.
