First Majestic Silver's 4.03% Surge on $310M Volume Propels It to 337th in U.S. Trading Rankings Amid Macroeconomic Shifts

On September 26, 2025, First Majestic Silver Corp. (AG) surged 4.03% to close its trading session, with a total trading volume of $310 million, ranking 337th among U.S. equities by volume. The stock’s performance was driven by renewed investor interest in the silver sector amid shifting macroeconomic expectations.

Analysts noted that the move aligned with broader market speculation about potential easing in monetary policy, which historically has benefited precious metals. However, the stock’s volume-based ranking highlighted mixed liquidity dynamics, as the company’s market cap remains relatively small compared to peers. No significant corporate announcements or regulatory updates were reported to directly influence the stock’s trajectory on the day.

The proposed back-test for a “Top-500-by-volume” strategy across U.S. equities requires clarifying parameters such as universe scope (e.g., NYSE/NASDAQ/AMEX vs. Russell 3000), volume metric (dollar vs. share volume), and weighting methodology. Execution of the strategy hinges on defining these parameters to ensure accurate historical data retrieval and computational feasibility given the scale of the dataset.
