In the past, silver primarily served as a currency. It was used as a store of value and a means of payment. Thanks to modern technologies and new applications, silver is now irreplaceable in many industrial sectors. Of course, after the price of silver exceeded the US$100 mark for the first time, it fell significantly. But at least the price of the precious metal is higher today than it was a year ago, by around 130 percent. A year ago, a troy ounce of silver cost around US$30.

Now, after its crash, the price of silver seems to be stabilizing. According to chart technicians, the price of the precious metal would have to rise to a good $75 per ounce in order for it to continue climbing. The factors that drove up the price of silver last year continue to exist. According to forecasts, the silver market will remain in deficit in 2026, for the sixth year in a row. In addition to the photovoltaic industry, where there may be a slight decline, the automotive sector, artificial intelligence, and data centers will ensure strong demand for silver.

From an investor’s perspective, silver is likely to remain an attractive investment in 2026, as the geopolitical and economic conditions that support the price of gold also apply to silver, such as concerns about immense government debt, uncertain US politics, and the independence of the US Federal Reserve. The Silver Institute forecasts a 20 percent increase in physical investment to 227 million ounces, which is a three-year high.

Vizsla Silver – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/vizsla-silver-corp/ – owns the formerly producing Panuco gold-silver project in Mexico. Annual production is expected to reach 15.2 million ounces of silver equivalent. The feasibility study has been very positive.

Discovery Silver – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/discovery-silver-corp/ – owns the extremely promising Cordero project in Mexico. The reserve amounts to more than 300 million ounces of silver. The company has also recently started producing gold.
