介绍: Silver Prices Are Surging Even Faster Than Gold
Silver has been on a breakneck rally for much of the past year, more than doubling in price in 2025 before accelerating in the first few weeks of this year. Prices crossed $100 an ounce for the first time last week, and have set fresh records in the days since. 
Some of the momentum is explained by investors seeking safe places to park their money during trade tensions, geopolitical conflicts, and worries about inflation and rising debt. Gold is generally a go-to haven asset in times of turmoil, but silver's outsize gains have made it more prominent than usual.
"Silver is behaving like 'gold squared' or 'gold on steroids,'" Citi analysts wrote in a note Tuesday. They recently raised their silver price forecast to $150 an ounce in the next three months.
Silver is a smaller market than gold, with a broader variety of players, which can make it prone to bigger swings. And it has a wider range of industrial uses than gold. Silver is a key material in solar panels, data centers, electric vehicles, electronics and defense equipment. That reliance means that volatility in silver prices can reverberate across the economy.
Silver is also important to artificial intelligence technology. Its ability to conduct electricity has made the metal "much more valuable" to A.I. infrastructure spending as the technology evolves. Soaring copper prices have also been linked to the metal’s utility for data centers and other A.I. infrastructure. 
Some forecasters have warned that the rally in silver is running ahead of itself. Silver ranked highest for "bubblelike asset dynamics" in a recent ranking of stocks, commodities and cryptocurrencies by Bank of America, just ahead of gold.
