A recent correction in silver prices has opened a fresh entry point for investors, yet analysts remain optimistic that the white metal may still offer up to 50% upside over the next 12 months.
Despite a sharp slide of around 18% over the past two weeks, silver remains well above last year’s levels — having returned approximately 44% in U.S. dollar terms and 55.7% in Indian rupee terms.
Analysts project silver prices to consolidate in the short term at around US $50–55 per ounce, before advancing toward the US $75 per ounce mark by end-2026. In Indian terms, this could translate into a domestic price of roughly ₹2,40,000 per kilogram, assuming the dollar remains near ₹90.
Key drivers cited include a supply deficit of around 118 million ounces expected this year, driven by weak mine growth and low recycling output. At the same time, industrial demand from solar, electronics and electric vehicles is growing rapidly.
However, experts caution that silver remains a volatile asset. Typical portfolio advice is to limit exposure to 3-7% of the overall portfolio and avoid large lump-sum bets given the risk of sharp short-term corrections.
