“Silver 2026: Prices Surge, Becoming a Strategic Metal — with SO OK TRADING” — Assessing Silver Prices in January 2026 and Future Outlook

Silver Price Outlook: January 2026, H1/2026, and Full Year 2026

The silver market in 2026 is highly noteworthy. After prices more than doubled in 2025 and set new all-time highs almost daily, silver continues to attract strong buying interest. As of January 14, 2026, at 08:30 Thailand time, the March futures contract was trading at around 89.50 USD/oz, with momentum supported by both investors and industrial demand.

The key driver is the growing need for silver in clean energy industries such as solar panels, electric vehicles, and electronic devices. Silver is no longer seen as just a precious metal but has been elevated to a “strategic metal” playing a vital role in the transition to a green economy. At the same time, supply remains tight, as mining output cannot keep pace with demand, further supporting prices.

In the short term, from January through Q1 2026, silver prices have the potential to break through the 95 USD/oz resistance level. If strong buying continues, prices could establish a base at 100 USD/oz, a critical threshold. Once surpassed, silver could rally to 105–110 USD/oz during the first half of the year.

For the medium to long term, if supply shortages persist and clean energy investment continues to expand, silver may consolidate around 100–105 USD/oz in H1 2026. With additional supportive factors—such as export restrictions from China or continued accommodative U.S. monetary policy—prices could break above 110 USD/oz, reaching 115 USD/oz or higher by late 2026.

Nevertheless, investors should remain cautious. If the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates, silver could face downward pressure. Likewise, a slowdown in the global economy could reduce industrial demand. While these risks are not yet dominant, they remain important factors to monitor closely.

Conclusion

2026 is shaping up to be a year of continued upward momentum for silver, with prices potentially reaching 100–117 USD/oz throughout the year. Strong demand from clean energy industries and supply constraints will continue to support prices, though interest rate policies and global economic conditions remain key risks.
