Silver price forecast 2026: What comes next after the $80 breakout and 161% surge

Silver price forecast 2026: What comes next after the $80 breakout and 161% surge

Silver’s record 2025 rally has reset the starting point for the 2026 silver price forecast, after the metal rose 161% and broke the $80-per-ounce mark for the first time.

The rally pushed bullion to record highs on economic and geopolitical risks.

Gold is often treated as a safe haven, meaning a place investors park money when markets get nervous.
