Honestly, extreme predictions about silver's price trend are unfounded. The idea that it will quickly break through $100 is overly optimistic, and the assumption that it will fall below $50 to short is equally naive.

The current environment indeed provides fertile ground for silver speculation. The Federal Reserve has already begun to cut interest rates, and it is still injecting $40 billion in liquidity each month. This combination of policies is sufficiently accommodative. The reason silver has become a hot asset for capital chasing gains is not out of thin air—first, the market is flooded with additional liquidity; second, there is genuine supply pressure on the physical side. Under these circumstances, a relatively small asset like silver is easily driven higher by capital inflows.

But there are more variables brewing. Japan's pace of interest rate hikes could put pressure on the dollar, and if the dollar index continues to decline, it would further fuel silver speculation. This chain reaction could keep pushing the market.

That said, rather than chasing gains and losses in high-risk assets, it’s better to turn your focus to copper. This commodity is likely to be the most stable choice by 2026. The returns may not be as dazzling as this year, but they will be more solid—every cent earned will come with confidence.
