flag Silver hit a record $120/oz in 2025, dropped 36% to $77 by 2026 due to China’s export restrictions and industrial demand volatility.

flag Silver hit a record $120 per ounce in 2025, surging 144% due to investor demand and fears of a supply shortage after China imposed export restrictions on January 1, 2026, which will last through 2027 to secure domestic supply for electronics manufacturing. flag The price later dropped 36% to about $77, reflecting silver’s volatility driven by industrial demand, as over half of its supply is used in manufacturing. flag Unlike gold, silver’s value is tied to both industrial use and market sentiment, and its history of sharp declines—such as 89% and 71% drops in past decades—suggests further downside is more likely than a rally to $200 in 2026, especially if China eases restrictions.
