Silver trades near $69 per ounce early in the week of August 24, 2026, after testing $70 and posting an 18% monthly gain, driven primarily by the U.S. Treasury’s decision to double long-term bond buybacks to at least $4 billion per session. This policy shift has lowered yields and pressured the dollar, supporting precious metals as a debasement hedge amid ongoing Middle East geopolitical risks tied to Iran. Silver’s structural supply deficit, fueled by persistent industrial demand from solar, electronics, and AI infrastructure, provides additional fundamental backing, though the metal continues to lag gold’s safe-haven flows. Key near-term catalysts include Wednesday’s PCE inflation release and Federal Reserve signals from Jackson Hole, which will shape rate expectations and dollar direction. Traders are monitoring the 200-day moving average near $72 as the next technical threshold.

Only prices achieved during an applicable trading session of the specified timeframe's business days will be considered. The trading session for a given business day typically begins at 6:00 PM ET on the prior calendar date. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If Silver (XAGUSD) does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No".
In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Silver (XAGUSD) "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Metal.XAG%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter.
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published for the relevant CME COMEX futures contract for the underlying metal—COMEX Silver Futures (SI)—may be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
