Silver prices near $87 per ounce in mid-May 2026 reflect strong industrial demand from solar installations, electronics, and AI-driven infrastructure, which has helped offset earlier volatility and sustain the metal above key support levels. A firmer U.S. dollar, reinforced by hotter January CPI data and reduced near-term rate-cut expectations, has capped upside while highlighting silver’s sensitivity to real yields and Treasury movements. Structural supply deficits persist, though elevated prices risk demand destruction in price-sensitive sectors. Traders are watching the Trump-Xi meetings through mid-May and upcoming labor-market releases for clues on monetary policy direction, with any dovish Fed signals likely to amplify silver’s beta to broader risk assets and gold.

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.
