Citi Predicts Silver to Hit $150 in Three Months, Calls it 'Gold on Steroids'

  • Citigroup Inc. forecasts spot Silver prices could reach $150 an ounce within the next three months.
  • Silver has already seen a record run, surging nearly 50% in January, marking its best start to the year in decades.
  • Citi attributes the rally to continued Chinese buying momentum and the need for higher prices to encourage selling.
  • Analysts describe Silver as 'gold squared' or 'gold on steroids', expecting the trend to continue until it becomes historically expensive relative to gold.
  • The iShares Silver Trust ETF saw a $40 billion turnover, nearly matching the SPDR S&P 500 ETF and doubling Nvidia's and Tesla's turnovers.

Why It Matters: Citi projects a significant surge in Silver prices to $150, driven by strong demand and market dynamics.
