Silver prices today, Tuesday, August 25, 2026: Silver prices pull back slightly, but remain over $68
Tue, August 25, 2026 at 3:15 PM GMT+3 3 min read
Silver (SI=F) September futures opened at $68.96 per ounce on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, up 0.5% from Monday's closing price. Silver fell slightly this morning to $68.07 as of 8:08 a.m. ET.
Silver prices are pulling back slightly this morning, despite holding onto weekly and monthly gains of 5.7% and 17.6%, respectively.
Most investors are looking ahead to tomorrow's inflation report, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, and the Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's speech on Friday at Jackson Hole.
Inflation concerns and their impact on the Fed's decision to potentially raise rates following its September meeting continue to be a focal point for silver investors, as higher rates are a natural headwind for silver prices since the precious metal doesn't pay interest.

Silver price predictions for the next decade
Silver price forecasts vary wildly by expert. Some say silver's price will hold steady or experience modest growth, while others predict huge price spikes. Here are some of the biggest predictions for silver's price:
1. Silver reaches $100 per ounce
Experts with BlackRock and J.P. Morgan agree that the outlook for silver remains strong, and its price will increase. By the end of 2026, experts predict silver's price will surpass $80 per ounce, and it could reach $100 per ounce by 2030.
Does that mean you should buy lots of silver? Be aware that predictions can change, and they may revise their forecasts at any time.
2. Silver coins become more popular
With the conflict in the Middle East, investors are increasingly concerned about economic turmoil and manufacturing supply chain disruptions. Historically, that means investors will increasingly buy precious metals, such as silver.
Because buying an ounce of gold is prohibitively expensive for new investors, silver coins or bars are a more accessible entry point, so there may be increased demand.
3. Pricing may be more volatile
Compared to gold, silver's price tends to be more volatile, with more rises and falls. Its price fluctuates due to changes in industrial demand and investor confidence.
For example, at the beginning of January 2026, silver's price topped $113 per ounce. But by February, its price dropped to $77 per ounce, a decrease of about 32% in just a few weeks.
