Silver prices trade near $85–87 per ounce amid the sixth straight year of physical supply deficits, driven by surging industrial demand from solar photovoltaics, electric vehicles, and electronics that now exceeds half of total consumption. A brief rally above $89 followed the mid-May U.S.-China tariff truce, yet hotter April CPI at 3.8 percent quickly reversed gains by pushing Fed rate-cut odds to September or later and lifting Treasury yields. This monetary headwind has strengthened the dollar and capped upside near the $90 psychological level, while geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to support safe-haven flows. Traders will monitor upcoming CPI revisions and COMEX inventory data for the week of May 18, with industrial fundamentals providing a structural floor even as real-yield dynamics remain the dominant near-term swing factor.

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.
