Silver prices, currently trading near $84 per ounce after a sharp May 11 surge above $87 on the U.S.-China tariff truce before retreating on hotter-than-expected April CPI at 3.8%, reflect mixed macro signals. Persistent structural deficits, projected by the Silver Institute to widen 15% to 46.3 million ounces in 2026 amid robust industrial demand from solar, EVs, and electronics, continue to support prices, while the gold-silver ratio near 55:1 signals relative value. Recent volatility stems from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East lifting oil costs and inflation risks, alongside Federal Reserve signals favoring delayed rate cuts until at least September. Analysts from J.P. Morgan to Citigroup forecast 2026 averages between $78 and $110, underscoring how upcoming May CPI and FOMC communications could drive near-term swings in XAGUSD.

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.
