Silver price today rebounds after sharp plunge; $80 level back on traders’ radar

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:07 ET — Premarket Spot silver rose early Tuesday after a steep selloff a day earlier, with the silver price today up 3.1% at $74.49 an ounce by 2:09 a.m. ET, after touching a record $83.62 in the prior session.
