Silver Has Been Falling, but Here's Why It May Still End Up Soaring Back Higher Later This Year

Silver has pulled back from January highs and is trading around $79 (well below its $121+ peak). The piece argues silver — and the iShares Silver Trust — could still rally later in 2026 if political or economic turmoil (notably potential Fed leadership uncertainty following a Justice Department probe) drives safe-haven demand. SLV is described as trading near its 50-day moving average, up roughly 3% year-to-date but down about 35% from its 52-week high; the author views it as a lower-risk way to hedge and potentially benefit from renewed inflows. Overall, the article is cautiously bullish on silver’s upside if catalysts re-emerge.
