$200 silver by EOY (2026)?

If I posted this a few months ago most of us here would think I was a bit nuts. But as I write this its around $90 with it going up several percentage points each week. $200 is an interesting threshold because it's just around the 1980's peak of $50 adjusted for inflation, at a point where the price was being VERY manipulated (Hunt brothers). So are we going to pass that by EOY?

Philately will get you nowhere....

    That would be VERY BAD I think...

    I'm expecting 100-130 range.

    I'm seeing $87ish on COMEX.

    Silver at that price means something is terribly wrong. I'm assuming it's not a Hunt-style spike but the price persists.

    No idea what is making the price go so high relatively quickly. My hunch is that it has to do with World market manipulation by one of America’s growing list of adversaries.

    I think if the price exploded to $200 an ounce that quickly we might see govt intervention. Remember we are not that important, industry is. I’d be very happy at $110-$125. I would like to see what happens with the Chinese restrictions on silver exports. I think that and FOMO on the retail side is driving price.

    No.
    Not $200/oz

    $130 likely. $150 maybe. Not $200

    It's institutional and retail buying at the same time. FUN 2026 showed the latter.

    the spot and futures market are dominated by institutional

    Silver just doubled up on $45 since a week before Halloween. I can't get past that.

    it may be going up, but the demand ideas put forth are not doing this except by fueling speculation

    I doubt it. Silver is an internationally traded commodity. Price controls or rationing by one or a few governments would create local shortages, while export controls could actually contribute to a further rise in prices (which is happening now to some extent).
