Silver Hits $95/Oz Record as Analysts Target $100 and Up to $300

Beincrypto reports silver hit $95 per ounce, a new all-time high, extending a rally that has lifted the metal 31% year-to-date.

Analysts now expect silver to reach $100 soon, with some forecasts pushing as high as $300 in 2026. Drivers cited include safe-haven buying, expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts supporting non-yielding assets, tightening conditions in physical markets, and rising industrial demand from solar, electric vehicles, electronics and high-tech infrastructure. The surge followed renewed precious-metals demand after President Donald Trump’s tariff actions against the European Union heightened geopolitical tensions, and Companies Market Cap data show silver is now the second-largest asset by market capitalization behind gold.

Near-term targets cluster around $100 — economist Peter Schiff suggested the milestone could be reached as early as tomorrow — while longer-term upside depends on market structure. An analyst has argued banks hold roughly $4.4 billion in short positions and that industrial demand already consumes about 60% of annual global silver output, saying covering those shorts would require years of mined supply. Forecasts beyond $100 therefore hinge on whether structural imbalances persist or new supply and investor appetite change.
