Several factors have influenced silver prices, including global tensions, war, speculation, and a shift towards safe-haven investments, leading to a significant surge in prices.

  • The volatility in the dollar index ahead of the US Supreme Court’s decision on tariffs is expected to keep gold and silver prices fluctuating this week.
  • Global tensions and claims over Greenland are driving investors towards safe-haven assets.
  • In the COMEX market, silver touched a new high of $94.30 before stabilizing around $93.
  • Expectations of further cuts in US interest rates are strengthening bullion prices.
  • The increasing demand for silver in solar energy, EVs, AI, and electronics, along with its growing appeal as a safe-haven investment, has boosted its price.
