Silver prices have exhibited sharp volatility in May 2026, surging over 6% intraday to briefly exceed $87 following a U.S.-China 90-day tariff truce before retreating toward $77–$84 amid hotter-than-expected April CPI data at 3.8% that tempered near-term Federal Reserve rate-cut expectations. Persistent global supply deficits, robust industrial demand from solar manufacturing and AI infrastructure, and safe-haven flows tied to Middle East tensions continue to support the metal’s dual monetary-industrial profile, while the U.S. dollar index and Treasury yields exert downward pressure. With the gold-silver ratio recently tightening below 56 and analyst forecasts for full-year 2026 averages clustering near $80–$81 per ounce, traders are monitoring upcoming FOMC communications and May economic releases for signals on inflation trajectories and monetary policy shifts that could drive further price swings.

Only prices achieved during the applicable trading session as listed on Pyth will be considered. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours as listed on Pyth.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If Silver (XAGUSD) does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No".
In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Silver (XAGUSD) "High" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Metal.XAG%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter.
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high price published for the relevant CME COMEX futures contract for the underlying metal—COMEX Silver Futures (SI)—may be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
