Silver Breaches $100, Sets New Price Record

As last week ended, the price of silver reached $100 per ounce for the first time ever and as this week got underway, it climbed even higher to set another record high of $109. The gains registered in the market for silver come at a time when gold has also been having its own rally that has taken it to new record levels.

As silver crossed the $100 price level, gold soared to its own all-time high of $5,000 an ounce. This new high comes after the precious metal recorded gains for several months that have caused analysts to become extremely bullish about how much further these precious metals could go over the coming months.

In 2025, silver was the star among precious metals after it recorded price gains amounting to 147% for the year. Gold’s gains were more modest in comparison to silver. The change in the price of silver has been so monumental that back in April, one needed nearly 105 silver ounces in order to acquire a gold ounce. Today, this has been narrowed to approximately 50 ounces. Silver’s climb has been supported by the same drivers behind gold’s surge; both metals are regarded as safe-haven assets to which investors flock during times of economic and geopolitical turmoil.

However, silver has also benefited from another structural factor that isn’t present in the market for gold. The silver market has contended with a supply deficit that has persisted for now five years. This supply deficit is particularly instrumental because silver has many industrial uses, such as its use within the glass industry and in high-tech electronics. The market is therefore experiencing a supply squeeze as the industrial users of this metal compete for the limited supplies with investors seeking to use silver as a hedge against economic and geopolitical volatility.

As gold climbs even higher, many investors are likely to take interest in silver as an alternative safe haven asset even if silver is vulnerable to shifts in industrial production. Leading silver producers like Mexico, China and Peru are smiling all the way to bank as the metal enjoys a resurgence that hasn’t been seen in years.

Companies like New Pacific Metals Corp. (NYSE American: NEWP) (TSX: NUAG) that are exploring for and developing properties rich in silver deposits are well positioned to benefit from the upward momentum in the price of the metal since it is now easier to attract investment and undertake the preliminary operations necessary before the extraction of the metal begins to address the growing demand over the coming years.
