What’s Happening

Silver prices have whipsawed through the first half of 2026, with the metal tumbling sharply in January, slumping again at the start of the Iran war, and only recently showing signs of a technical recovery. A break of a downtrend line on Wednesday, May 6 was part of a three-day surge that pushed silver close to April's high of $83.04, with technical analysts noting that a sustained break above that peak would indicate the metal had secured a foothold in a higher range. The rally followed silver's best week of the year, a 6.6% gain driven by falling Treasury yields and reversing oil prices. [Reuters, May 11]

Momentum reversed sharply on Friday, May 15, when silver plunged more than 10% from its two-month high after a hotter-than-expected CPI print reignited inflation fears. Spot silver traded at $76.69 as of 9:45 a.m. EST, hitting an intraday low of $76.63, with analysts attributing the slump to repricing of Fed policy expectations following the inflation data. The question of whether silver (si) hit (low) $55 by end of june becomes structurally improbable from these levels — the metal would need to shed roughly 28% from current spot in approximately six weeks, a magnitude of decline not seen since the January tumble.

The broader macro backdrop continues to support elevated precious metals pricing rather than the collapse implied by silver (si) hit (low) $55 by end of june. The International Energy Agency warned that global oil inventories have been drawn down at a record pace, with 164 million barrels released by governments and industry as of May 8, and analysts had expected the Strait of Hormuz to reopen by end of May or early June following the U.S.-Israel war on Iran launched two and a half months ago. A continued closure scenario would likely keep oil prices elevated, supporting inflation expectations and silver's safe-haven bid. Traders are now monitoring Tuesday's CPI follow-through, Fed policy signals, and Hormuz developments as the primary drivers of silver's June trajectory. [Fortune, May 16]
