Silver Could Soar to $100, Gold to $5,000 by 2026: IBJA's Surendra Mehta

• IBJA's Surendra Mehta predicts silver could reach $95-100 an ounce and gold $4,900-5,100 an ounce by 2026.
• Silver's recent rally is attributed to structural market changes, including high lease rates (up to 23-24%) and a shift from paper to physical holdings.
• Silver prices surged over 50% in one month, from $49 to $73 an ounce, indicating potential volatility and expected 18-20% corrections.
• Gold is also projected for long-term gains, though near-term corrections of 9-10% are anticipated.
• Investors should prepare for price fluctuations, but the long-term outlook for both precious metals remains supportive.

Why It Matters: IBJA's Surendra Mehta forecasts significant price surges for silver ($100) and gold ($5,000) by 2026, despite expected volatility.
