Silver Prices Remain Above $68 Despite Slight Pullback on August 25
On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, silver prices opened at $68.96 per ounce but slightly pulled back to around $68.07 by midday. The precious metal maintained strong weekly and monthly gains of 5.7% and 17.6%, respectively, with a year-over-year increase of 77.9%. Investors are closely watching the upcoming Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index report on Wednesday for inflation insights that could influence Federal Reserve rate decisions. The market remains focused on Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's speech at Jackson Hole later in the week, as higher interest rates pose a challenge to silver prices due to its lack of yield. Analysts from BlackRock and J.P. Morgan predict continued strength in silver pricing, with forecasts suggesting it could reach $80 by year-end 2026 or even climb toward $100 per ounce by 2030.
