Blog posts of '2026' 'April'

While 2025 was marked by exceptional gains in silver, 2026's new all-time highs and subsequent lows have left investors feeling less certain about silver in 2026.

Silver’s setup is becoming increasingly compelling for physical buyers.

According to the 2026 World Silver Survey, industrial demand is expected to fall 3% to 640 million ounces in 2026, and that outlook could weaken further if geopolitical tensions, including a prolonged Iran conflict, continue to pressure global growth.

On the surface, this fact, coupled with the pullback in silver, could lead investors to retreat from the market. But that's not the whole picture...

However, coin and bar demand is projected to rise 18% to 258 million ounces, driven largely by a recovery in U.S. buying, even as demand in other categories remain soft. More importantly, silver is now facing a sixth consecutive year of supply deficit, increasing the risk of a liquidity squeeze if investor demand continues to strengthen. 

In fact, the expected structural gap in supply is 15% larger than in 2025.

Demand overall is expected to shrink around 2%, but the massive (and growing) supply deficit means demand will still very much outstrip the supply.

That combination matters. When supply remains tight and physical investment demand rises, silver can become harder to secure at favorable levels. For investors seeking portfolio diversification and a hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainty, this may be a critical window to act.

The high-price pullback means investors have the opportunity to jump back in before the market starts to feel the chronic supply-demand imbalance and silver climbs back up to all-time highs around $115 an ounce.

Silver sits today around $75 an oz., and analysts believe the next technical upside price objective is closing prices above resistance at $80.

What is the true cost of acquiring physical gold? 

Gold has pulled back again early this week, as the dollar and oil prices climbed when the U.S. seized an Iranian cargo vessel and Iran threatened to retaliate.

The news strengthened the dollar hiking it to a one-week high, pressuring gold prices, as the yellow metal became more expensive for holders of other currencies. It also renewed concerns about persistent inflation and speculation that the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates unchanged for some time. 

Gold rose by 64% last year alone. In 2026, gold continued to rally until the Iran war started in late February, and spent March in a backslide of 11%. Prices rallied nearly 2% last week on an apparent easing of tensions, but Sunday's escalation reversed the rebound. 

The unstable ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is set to expire today, but this military conflict has been anything but predictable. 

That makes now the right time to take advantage of another drop in spot prices.

While gold is below all-time highs again for now, the rapidly accelerating climb in spot prices over the past few years have made it a challenge for investors to get in on the ground floor, especially those who are just beginning to accumulate gold and build a diverse portfolio.

Many feared that the rally that drove gold and silver sky-high starting at the end of last year would mean they would be priced out of the market.

But this correctional period is once more offering an opportunity to buy gold at lower spot prices.

While 1 oz. gold is typically the sweet spot for investors, fractional gold offers investors a few key benefits. Fractional gold is gold coins that are split into 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 oz. sizes, rather than the most typical 1 oz. size.

One of the main benefits of fractional gold is that it can be more accessible to buy in smaller increments than buying full ounces of gold. This makes it a great option for investors who are looking to diversify their portfolio or start investing in gold, but don’t have a lot of money to do so.

The divisibility of fractional gold also makes it easier to sell without selling whole ounces of gold. You may want to liquidate a small amount to meet a financial goal and fractional coins may be preferable for this. It’s also a way to give gold as a gift to loved ones without overdoing it.

Fractional gold does tend to carry a higher premium per coin than 1 oz. gold because it is more expensive to produce and generally in shorter supply than the popular 1 oz. coins, but if you're looking for divisibility or the ability to purchase gold in smaller increments, it can be a great way to start investing or strengthen the position in gold you already have.

To help you take advantage of the pullback in gold, we're offering fractional gold at a low premium! Today, we're able to offer denominations of the Gold American Eagle as low as 6% over spot! 

Here's what 1/10, 1/4, and 1/2 oz. Gold American Eagles offer your portfolio :

The Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR) had a tumultuous start to 2026.

For investors asking whether now is still a good time to buy silver... yes!

Silver continues to offer a rare combination of affordability, liquidity, and long-term strategic value, making it an important consideration for those looking to diversify with hard assets.

In an environment shaped by inflation concerns, market volatility, and persistent economic uncertainty, physical silver remains a practical way to help protect purchasing power and strengthen a broader precious metals strategy.

After an explosive rally in 2025, with year-end gains of 141%, silver spot prices pulled back sharply at the end of January, dropping overnight from a high around $115 to around $78. It has traded in a narrow range since then, touching as low as $68 in recent weeks.

Silver rallied 4.8% the first four days of last week before easing again on Friday. 

Silver sits today around $76 an oz., and analysts believe the next technical upside price objective is closing prices above resistance at $80. 

Don't let the pullback fool you, silver right now is still a brilliant market opportunity with room to run.

Why Silver is Still a Compelling Opportunity
One reason silver continues to attract attention is its accessibility. Compared with gold around $4,700-4,800 an oz., silver can provide a lower-cost entry point into physical precious metals ownership while still offering the benefits of a globally recognized hard asset.

For investors seeking tangible diversification beyond paper-based holdings, silver serves as both a store of value and a flexible portfolio component during periods of financial instability.

Silver also stands apart because of its dual role as both a precious metal and an industrial metal. That broader demand for silver beyond being a monetary metal means increased volatility, but silver's role as an important conductive component in technology, like AI data centers, means that the ongoing supply shortage and increasing demand are also set to boost silver prices higher in the coming years.

Whether the objective is wealth preservation, portfolio diversification, or inflation hedging, silver continues to deserve serious consideration.

On Monday, gold rose incrementally after the U.S. financial markets were closed for the Good Friday holiday last week.

Despite spot prices falling 11% in March, gold is still up roughly 8% YTD.

Safe haven interest is building again as the volatile conflict between the U.S. and Iran continues to escalate. Gold is continuing to rebound from the lows. Meanwhile, the dip buyers have begun to emerge to take advantage of gold spot prices still under $5,000 an oz.

And you should too.

Corrections like this are a necessary part of a long-term bull market. 

While it looks like gold may face some resistance in the near-term as the U.S. dollar reacts to strong employment data, and some investors are now betting on an interest rate hike instead of the rate cut they were previously anticipating, it is important to zoom out and look at gold over the next few years. 

Today, gold is once again "cheap and hated", i.e. facing extreme negative sentiment, especially when compared to the sudden enthusiastic bullishness of mainstream attitudes just a few months prior.

Gold tends to reward investors who move before the crowd does. When sentiment is weak and prices are still attractive, opportunity can be greatest. If gold is entering a new uptrend, today’s levels may look cheap in hindsight.
