“I’m going to say in this interview that I think $35 on silver, I think that’s like an achievable–attainable target based upon what we’re doing.

Answer these questions to better understand the above silver price predictions and what to expect in the year to come.
Many financial institutions and analysts are bullish on silver in 2023, while others expect the market to settle below $20/ounce. Closely track the gold-silver ratio as the first half of the year wears on to determine if there’s a correlation.
If history is any indicator, silver prices will continue to rise beyond 2023. Nobody knows how soon or how high, but long-term trends point in this direction.
With silver prices at the start of 2023 below 2022 highs, now is one of the best opportunities in recent history to invest. If you wait too long, you may end up paying more if prices increase — as many analysts and institutions expect — in 2023.
