Silver Prices Could Surge 20% in Three Months: Experts Reveal the Best Time to Buy

New Delhi: Silver has delivered spectacular returns to investors in 2025, and experts suggest the momentum could continue into 2026. Analysts predict that silver prices could rise by up to 20% in the first quarter of next year, making it an attractive investment option.

Record-Breaking Rally
Silver’s upward trajectory has been remarkable this year, delivering over 100% returns. Strong investor demand coupled with limited supply is driving the surge. Internationally, silver prices have crossed USD 67 per ounce—a new record—and could reach USD 70–80 per ounce by March 2026, according to The Economic Times. Experts advise buying silver whenever prices dip slightly to maximize gains. As of now, silver has provided over 127.5% returns in 2025.

What Experts Say
Ria Singh, Research Analyst at MK Global, explains that reduced silver supply in London and China is fueling price increases. Additionally, higher U.S. exports and elevated COMEX premiums have led to a shortage in the physical market. Growing interest in silver ETFs has further tightened supply.

Pranav Meer, Vice President of Commodity & Currency Research at JM Financial Services, notes that both retail investors and High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) have heavily invested in silver ETFs. This has accumulated a significant physical silver stock, now sufficient to meet roughly two years of global demand.

Industrial Demand on the Rise
Silver is not only a hedge against inflation but also seeing growing industrial use. Applications in solar panels, electric vehicles, and AI-related technologies have increased significantly in recent years, contributing to higher demand.

Factors Supporting Further Price Rise
Kaaynat Chainwala, Assistant Vice President of Commodity Research at Kotak Securities, points out that China plans to restrict silver exports in 2026, which could further reduce supply and push prices higher. Naveen Mathur, Director of Commodity & Currency Research at Anand Rathi Shares & Stock Brokers, predicts that supply constraints will continue through 2026–27. While price growth may be slightly slower than in 2025, silver could outperform gold in the first quarter of 2026.

Conclusion
With supply shortages, rising industrial demand, and strong investor interest, silver remains a highly promising asset for both short-term gains and long-term investment. Experts recommend seizing buying opportunities whenever prices see minor corrections.
