Will Silver’s rampant surge continue in 2026

Silver Price Forecast 2026

Why Silver Bullion Could Surge and What Investors Should Know

Many of our articles in 2025 spoke of investment gurus predicting an upturn (or one could say an ‘overdue correction’ of the true value) of silver, and right at the end of the year, we were thrilled to see that our Silver Bullion buyers were richly rewarded when Silver suddenly broke to new heights on the global markets.

Of course, there have since been some fluctuations and corrections, but this is to be expected after such a massive upturn in such a short time. Nevertheless, Silver now remains well above its price throughout most of 2025, and the question on all of our Silver Bullion buyers’ minds is “Will Silver’s rampant surge continue in 2026?“

Well, we are not market experts or investment analysts, but according to David Morgan, a precious metals specialist and investment guru who we have often quoted and who correctly predicted Silver’s upturn, it certainly will.

Let’s take a look at what happened to cause the massive surge in silver prices and what Morgan predicts for 2026 – and beyond.

A significant paradigm shift

According to one of Morgan’s latest reports, there was a significant paradigm shift at the end of 2025 from the old order to the new, which boosted the Silver price (total escalation was 140% in 2025!) He put it down to a) Stock markets weakening, b) US Govt Bonds’ fragility, and c) after peaking, Bitcoin beginning to show major weakness.

Morgan believes that Silver has finally, rightfully, broken out of a 50-year range and, like Copper and Lead in the past, “Silver is pricing to a new reality!” In a report written towards the end of 2025, he predicted that the upturn would continue, and claimed that the forecast for Silver to hit $100 in the next 6 months, and even $200 by 2027, was not impossible. Well, already now at the end of Jan, the Silver spot price has reached $120, and by the time you read this article, it could well be higher!

Industrial power

We must also never forget that Silver continues to be a significant contributor to solar power and other industrial applications. A report we read in ‘KITCO news’ is that a commodity analyst at BMO Capital Markets said, “After many years of being over-promised and under-delivered, there are finally signs that solid-state batteries might be on the horizon—with silver-carbon anode technology a key enabler.

We estimate,” they continued “that this could contribute up to 100Moz of silver demand by 2030, if commercialisation efforts by companies like BYD, Samsung, and LG Ensol are successful. However, until solid-state batteries are commercially viable, BMO sees an increase in Silver supply, which will lead it to underperform gold.”
