Silver Price Rises as Experts Forecast Further Upside
The price of silver as of September 9, 2026 is $66.23 per ounce, down 5 cents from yesterday but still up more than $25 over the past year.
Historically, silver has underperformed stocks by about 96%, meaning an equal investment in silver and stocks would be worth less in silver holdings today. However, silver is prized for its stability and ability to hedge against inflation, often referred to as a 'store of value'.
The spot price of silver serves as a gauge of immediate market demand, with a higher spot price indicating stronger buying interest. Silver's recent performance has outshined gold's, with some experts forecasting further upside potentially pushing silver to record levels.
