There aren’t many pure silver mines in the world. Because of that, it’s very difficult for supply to respond directly to higher silver prices,” Meyer said before adding that if gold prices rise above $5,000 per ounce, silver could even top $70.However, last week, veteran commodities expert and Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, Ole Hansen, noted that silver could see profit-taking amid weakening risk sentiment across equities.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Are Stocktwits Users Saying?</h2>Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SLV">iShares Silver Trust</a> was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.“Silver nibbled around $54 a few days in October, and the same $54 a few days in November. &nbsp;It’s mid-December, silver is $64.

This has led investors to scramble for hedges, which is the primary reason for the increase in precious metals prices.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Momentum Spreading Beyond Gold</h2>What makes the current rally unusual is that gold is no longer the sole driver. Silver’s explosive gains have sparked follow-through buying in platinum and palladium, suggesting momentum trading. Gold not leading the rally also weakens the argument that central banks, particularly in emerging markets, are behind the move.Spot silver has been on a record-breaking run this month, gaining nearly 14%. It also hit an all-time high of $64.66 per ounce on Friday.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Is The Dollar An Issue?</h2>Importantly, this surge is unfolding while the U.S. dollar remains broadly stable against other major currencies. That signals the problem isn’t dollar weakness, but a more profound unease with fiat money itself, Brooks added. Investors appear to be questioning the long-term purchasing power of paper currencies in general, not just the greenback.That said, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen from its November high of 100.395 to 98.18, trading below its 200-day moving average.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1317/867;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/DXY_png_cfa21c4eb1.webp" alt="DXY.png" width="1317" height="867"><figcaption>DXY YTD | Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>Earlier pauses in precious metals prices coincided with major global meetings that forced markets to reassess valuations.

Silver has hit fresh peaks in seven of the last 10 sessions. Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research at Goldman Sachs, told Forbes on Thursday that silver prices are likely to remain highly volatile as long as uncertainty over U.S. tariffs persists. Struyven also pointed to a physical squeeze in the London silver market, with inventories low as metal is being shipped to the U.S. amid tariff concerns.He said that many of the factors lifting gold, such as expectations of lower interest rates, also help silver by boosting investor demand. However, unlike gold, silver doesn’t have central bank buying as support, and it tends to be more volatile.Struyven noted that Gold ETFs are roughly 70 times smaller than the U.S. Treasury market, and silver is about nine times smaller than gold, and because of this, even modest flows into silver could drive significant gains.Meanwhile, veteran commodities expert and Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, Ole Hansen, noted that silver could see profit-taking as risk sentiment weakened across equities.In a <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/1999015507278672209">post</a> on X, Hansen noted that the firm rejection, partly due to overbought conditions, may signal a shift in focus toward consolidation, with $59 as a major support level.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Ole_Hansen_png_6e56b6f601.webp" alt="Ole Hansen.png"><h2 class="st-heading-2">Gold And Greenback</h2>Spot gold prices fell 0.2% to $4,219 an ounce, while gold futures for February 2026 deliveries climbed 0.6% to $4,249.2.Meanwhile, the dollar index (DXY) declined 0.3% to 98.32, its lowest level since October 17.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1299/876;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/DXY_png_783fa1b935.webp" alt="DXY.png" width="1299" height="876"><figcaption>DXY on Dec. 10, 2025 | Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>Read Also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/crbp-stock-surged-36-pre-market-what-did-its-obesity-treatment-drug-study-reveal/cLIxOoAREnh">CRBP Stock Surged 36% Pre-Market – What Did Its Obesity Treatment Drug Study Reveal?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Spot Silver Continues Hitting Fresh Highs – But This Analyst Warns Of Potential Consolidation

Spot silver prices jumped to a record high of $62.9 per ounce on Thursday, a day after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced the much-anticipated 25 basis point rate cut.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Silver prices have soared 106% in 2025, over four times last year’s gains.</li><li>The surge accelerated when the gold-silver ratio spiked above 105 in April, analyst Ole Hansen said.</li><li>Spot gold prices and the dollar index were trading marginally lower ahead of the outcome of the Fed meeting.</li></ul>&nbsp;Spot silver (XAG/USD) extended its rally on Wednesday, surging to another fresh high as prices briefly touched $61.6 per ounce ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision later in the day, where investors are broadly expecting a 25-basis-point cut.At the time of writing, the spot prices eased off record highs and were trading up 0.3%, while silver futures for March 2026 delivery gained 1% to $60.46 per ounce.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1300/877;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/XAG_png_9fe3831850.webp" alt="XAG.png" width="1300" height="877"><figcaption>Silver spot price (XAG/USD) on Dec.10, 2025 | Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>The current run has seen silver prices increase by 106% so far in 2025, more than four times last year's gains.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Gold-Silver Ratio</h2>According to veteran commodities expert and Head of Commodity Strategy for Saxo Bank, Ole Hansen, silver’s surge accelerated when the gold-silver ratio spiked above 105 in April, making silver appear deeply undervalued. Once prices broke major resistance levels in August, momentum traders, long-term investors, and macro funds piled in, turning a valuation gap into a full-fledged breakout.In a Saxo Bank note on Wednesday, Hansen added that eroding confidence in fiat currencies, persistent inflation concerns, and rising fiscal deficits pushed investors toward hard assets. While gold buying by central banks remained strong, silver, a cheaper and more volatile alternative, benefited.&nbsp;At the same time, industrial demand driven by electrification trends, solar power expansion, EV growth, and data-center build-outs increased demand, while years of weak mine supply kept the physical market tight.These pressures also intensified after silver was added to the U.S. critical minerals list, prompting large pre-tariff purchases that drained global inventories. Warehouse stocks in Shanghai fell to decade lows, London lease rates spiked, and demand from India added further strain.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Outlook For 2026</h2>Silver’s outlook in 2026 remains broadly constructive, though risks persist. A slowdown in AI-related investment or a reversal of U.S. tariff plans could ease tightness. Technically, holding the metal above the $54 to $55 per ounce zone remains crucial, while a sustained breakout would strengthen the case for higher prices next year, Hansen added.Meanwhile,&nbsp;on Wednesday morning, spot gold (XAU/USD) was trading 0.1% lower at $4,203.2 an ounce, while futures for February 2026 deliveries also declined 0.1%.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the dollar index (DXY) dropped 0.17% to 99.07, below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SLV">iShares Silver Trust</a> ETF, which tracks silver, was up 0.3%.
