Silver price in super bull mood

How high will silver price go in 2026? In Shayne McQuire’s The Silver Bull Market, he highlighted four important factors to consider before buying silver or gold:

Investment safety refers to your capital protection from the financial market risks. Most people always lament that owning silver or gold bullion does not provide dividend incomes. However, they don’t realize that precious metals allows you to remove wealth from the financial system. This is because gold and silver have historically been used as store of wealth. Gold in particular, is seen as an effective hedge against inflation.

Take the Euro crisis in 2015. Greece faced possible exit from the Euro because of its massive national debts. The country had been previously bailed out with a $275 billion international loan and had asked for fresh fund of $10 billion euros in short term financing. Clearly, the country’s plight showed that the Europe economies were not doing well and holding on to the Euro currency would have been risky as it faced possible devaluation if the crisis spread across Europe.

Investment potential refers to the ability for the price of silver or gold to rise over the long term. It is interesting to note that while Warren Buffett disdains gold for its lack of utility, he views silver differently and even purchased 130 million ounces (at low price of $6) in the late 1990s, one fifth of the global production at the time. He would have made a lot of money in 2025 as silver prices smashed a record high of US$80 per troy ounce.

Liquidity risk refers to the ease of buying and selling silver or gold. This can be an important consideration as nobody would want to buy something that cannot be sold. On this note, rare silver or gold coins tend to fare poorly as compared to mainstream coins. Jewellery is easier to sell but the margin would be lower due to the premiums for the workmanship. In Singapore, wealth builders can sell their silver or gold bullion to BullionStar.

Government risks refers to rule changes regarding gold and silver investments. In Singapore, the government exempted precious metals in 2012 with the objective of making Singapore a trading, transit and storage hub of precious metals. Since then, many dealers, wealth management banks and vault operators had set up infrastructure services in Singapore, hoping to catch a slide of the action.Metalor had also set up a gold refinery and bullion product manufacturing plant in Singapore in 2013. However, it should be noted that the investment environment is not so conducive in every country. For example, in 1933, due to a wave of bank failures, the United States government was forced to confiscate gold from the individuals and companies.

Silver squeeze in 2025-2026

Two major factors led to the chaotic surge of silver prices in late 2025. Firstly, silver always move in tandem with gold, which was given a massive boost due to Donald Trump’s aggressive foreign affairs policy. The geopolitical tensions led to investors seeking safe haven, causing gold prices to spike and led to the current tailwinds for silver.

Another factor for silver rally is market speculation that US may levy tariffs on silver soon, causing traders to load up on the precious metals. The “Fear Of Missing Out” caused traders to squeeze silver. Given that silver has a thin market and also declining global silver mine output, I believe 2026 could see silver prices in bullish mood. Till then, enjoy the ride.
