10. First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE:AG)
First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE:AG) grew by 14.3 percent week-on-week, as investors poured funds into mining companies after the latest US inflation rate figures solidified hopes for more interest rate cuts.
On Friday, the Commerce Department announced that the personal consumption expenditures index posted a 0.3 percent gain in August, bringing the annual headline inflation rate to 2.7 percent.
Headline inflation rate grew slightly from 2.6 percent in July, but remained within economists’ expectations of 2.8 percent.
The latest figures strengthened hopes that the US central bank would continue lowering rates toward the end of the year, sparking rosy prospects for precious metals like silver and gold.
Lower interest rates tend to weaken the US dollar, making gold and silver much cheaper to foreign investors.

Last week, the spot prices of silver grew to $46, its highest level in 14 years, as investors turned optimistic that the US central bank would implement more interest rate cuts by the end of the year.
