I am hoping to get more detailed explanations because I'm no economist, and safe-haven stocks aren't my strong suit, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I saw floating around, that provides a bullish argument for silver is:
\- silver has more industrial use instead of just a primary safe haven stock like gold, so inherently more value
\- there's an active shortage of silver similar to gold
\- if gold goes up, silver follows and people point to different ratios, specifically the 1:15 gold to silver ratio
\- trump's tariffs and geopolitical and domestic instigation seems to be driving volatility
\- fear of recession and increasing inflation in the US because of the tariffs
\- unemployment is rising (but im not sure if this has as much of an adverse effect)
\- yen carry trade showing signs of reversal adding pressure for borrowing money so safe haven's seem better
\- bond yields rising potentially indicating higher inflation is on the horizon
\- dollar devaluation threats exist as well
\- government shutdown probability increased due to the Minnesota shootings as democrats protested to defund ICE
Most of this helps gold but silver is seen differently. So I was wondering will silver continue to climb at the rate that it's going? Personally I think that 2026 is going to be a great year for silver and gold if Trump keeps being Trump. Unless democrats control the house and senate after midterms and put an end to his chaos.
