Could Silver Hit $100? These 3 Standout Stocks Are Set to Strike It Rich
Source: Pixaby
Gold’s meteoric rise in 2025, with prices soaring to a record $4,200 an ounce, has dominated headlines, often eclipsing silver’s own remarkable performance. Yet silver is having a standout year, with prices climbing above $52 an ounce, outpacing even the S&P 500’s stellar returns this year.
This surge suggests silver’s upward trajectory isn’t over — some analysts see a realistic path to $100 per ounce. A potential silver squeeze may be fueling this momentum, characterized by skyrocketing borrowing costs and a tightening market.
Lease rates for silver have spiked to over 100% on an annualized basis, with one-month rates hitting 35%, indicating a severe shortage of physical metal. Investors are scrambling to secure supply, with cargo flights moving millions of ounces between markets, highlighting a disconnect between paper prices and physical availability. The squeeze is intensifying as industrial demand — particularly from solar and tech sectors — collides with dwindling inventories, while short sellers face mounting pressure to cover positions, further driving up costs and prices.
This scenario sets the stage for these three silver-related stocks to emerge as big winners.
