Hecla Mining and Coeur Mining Spike 13% as Treasury Buyback Plan Ignites Precious Metals Rally
Hecla Mining (HL) and Coeur Mining (CDE) shares rose 13% as Treasury buyback plans boosted precious metals. First Majestic Silver (AG) and Endeavour Silver (EXK) also gained, though their year-to-date performance lags. The Amplify Junior Silver Miners ETF (SILJ) increased 9%. The rally is tied to lower long-end yields and safe-haven demand, not broad commodity moves.
