In 2025, silver astonished everyone with its historical rise and persistent rally into the new year. Analysts at the beginning of January predicted much higher price climbs, but no one anticipated surpassing the $100 mark so swiftly. Remarkably, silver has reached triple-digit prices for the first time in history.
Silver Breaks Records
China’s export restrictions, short position squeezes, geopolitical and global economic developments all contributed to silver breaking past the $100 threshold. If it continues to rise at this unprecedented speed, it could lead to the greatest rally of the century. While a price correction is inevitable at some point, silver investors currently remain optimistic, believing the rise is far from over.
Peter Schiff, known as the “Gold Bug,” commented on the latest surge:
“Silver’s price has exceeded $100. In December 2024, while HODLers celebrated Bitcoin reaching $100,000, they should have traded their Bitcoin for silver. Had they done so, they would have nearly quadrupled their money by today. The good news is that it’s not too late to make that trade.”
As a known opponent of cryptocurrencies, Peter expects the rise in silver to continue.
Since Trump began his second term last January, the white metal has seen over a 200% increase. This robust growth in silver has been bolstered by ongoing challenges in refining the metal and persistent supply shortages in the market. However, most investors initially doubted such a surge.
Silver Predictions
In 2026, with silver experiencing a 40% increase, some foresee even greater peaks. An analyst known as GodsBurnt expressed that he had been waiting for this moment for 30 years, consistently accumulating silver, and predicts it will eventually reach four-digit levels.
Clayton Morris believes this surge is more than a mere rally and anticipates its continuation.
“For the first time, silver has reached $100 per ounce. The unipolar world order has ended, and in this multipolar world, bringing back metal production to the country has become a national security priority. I hope people pay attention to this matter.”
TFMetals highlighted the anomaly between Shanghai closing at $111 on Friday and Comex silver still under $100. One of the reasons for the rise was the continuous effort to catch up with the Shanghai price, suggesting that the next target could be $111.
