Silver prices have exhibited extreme volatility in May 2026, with a sharp 13% decline to around $76 per ounce on May 15 following intraday spikes toward $87–$90 earlier in the month. This movement reflects the metal’s dual role as both an industrial input and monetary asset, where robust demand from solar panels, electric vehicles, and electronics continues to outpace mine supply and sustain structural deficits. Macro factors including softer U.S. inflation readings, expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, and geopolitical tensions have amplified trader positioning, while the U.S. dollar’s strength and profit-taking after 2025’s 130% rally add downward pressure. Analysts project a 2026 average near $81 per ounce, with the market now focused on whether renewed safe-haven flows or industrial demand recovery can push prices back above key technical levels before month-end.

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) "Low" 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 low 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.
