2025 was a year when the metals started to show their parabolic moves.

With gold predictions of the metal claiming $6000 and above, can silver beat the usual estimates as well to reach the top of the market radar?

Silver Price Narratives: What to Expect

Silver price has now become a leading topic of debate. The metal’s usage and rising industrial demand have brought silver back into the limelight. Silver’s crucial usage in broad-spectrum industries such as solar panels, semiconductors, EVs, AI data centers, and advanced electronics industries has played a crucial role in spiking its price up a notch.

“Silver Will Remind Us: We Are Deeply Dependent On The Earth” (Zero Hedge). Unlike dollars, you can’t print more silver. Unlike gold, silver is consumed at an industrial scale because it is required for the defining industries of our time. Solar panels. Electric vehicles. Semiconductors. Advanced electronics. Artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. Critical defense systems. You can build a financial system with paper promises, but you cannot build the future’s physical economy without metal.”

However, at present the metal is encountering a reversal of sorts, falling 15% in the last 24 hours.

Per Rashad Hajiyev, a leading financial expert, silver and gold were expected to show some consolidation, with both the metals challenging their new price highs for some time.
