Silver price predictions: What will happentors expect over the next decade?

Silver surged in 2025, more than doubling from roughly $30/oz at the start of 2025 to about $72–79/oz by early 2026, driven by inflation hedging, falling rates, geopolitical uncertainty and rising industrial demand (solar, autos, electronics). Experts from major firms expect continued upside — some forecasting silver above $80 by end‑2026 and $100/oz (or $100–$150) by 2030 — but also warn of heightened volatility (a January peak near $113/oz fell to ~$77/oz in February, a ~32% drop). The article frames silver as an accessible precious‑metal play (coins/bars) for retail investors but stresses diversification and a long‑term horizon due to wide price swings.
