Silver Prices Rise Ahead of U.S.-China Summit on September 21, 2026
On Monday, September 21, 2026, silver prices opened lower at $66.68 per ounce but quickly rose to reach $67.07 by mid-morning trading as investors anticipated the U.S.-China summit later in the week and discussions during the U.N. General Assembly. The price increase marked a break from last week's range of $63–$65, with silver up 5% compared to one week ago and over 59% higher than it was a year earlier. The anticipated talks between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to focus on extending their tariff agreement and aligning positions on artificial intelligence. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres also plans to push for de-escalation in the Middle East during his meetings with global leaders, adding context to market optimism. Investors have multiple options for gaining exposure to silver prices, including physical bullion or ETFs that track either the metal directly or mining companies. Silver's recent performance highlights its volatility and appeal as a tangible asset amid geopolitical uncertainty.
