Silver Soars to Rs 2.5 Lakh/Kg All-Time High: Is 2026 Your Investment Year?

• Silver hit an all-time high of Rs 2.5 lakh per kilo, reaching $83.62 per ounce internationally, despite a slight dip.
• The precious metal surged 170% in 2025, outperforming all asset classes, driven by Fed rate cut expectations and geopolitical tensions.
• Supply deficits for four consecutive years, industrial demand (EVs, solar), and China's upcoming export restrictions fuel the price rally.
• Experts like Elon Musk and analysts predict a severe global supply shortage and a "real supply squeeze" pushing prices higher.
• Analysts forecast silver could reach $100 per ounce in 2026, with some expecting 20-35% gains, making it a strong investment.

Why It Matters: Silver's record surge, driven by supply deficits and demand, positions it as a strong investment for 2026.
