Silver price today: Metal holds near record ahead of U.S. CPI as SLV and silver stocks jump

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 06:18 EST — Premarket Spot silver inched up Tuesday, staying just below a new record high as investors awaited U.S. inflation figures due later. The metal gained 0.7% to $85.57 an ounce, after hitting an all-time peak of $86.22 on Monday. (Reuters) This shift is significant since silver, much like gold, quickly responds to shifts in U.S. interest-rate forecasts. Rising yields can dampen appetite for bullion, which offers no interest, whereas a softer dollar usually lowers costs for buyers dealing in other currencies. Political risk remained a factor. Investors are still processing the Trump administration’s
