Silver’s record run is forcing markets to pay attention

Silver has smashed past the US$90 level this month, capping one of the strongest runs of any major asset.

A powerful mix of safe-haven demand, booming solar usage and tight physical supply is driving the rally - with some banks now openly talking about US$100 as the next milestone.

But after such a sharp surge, traders are split on whether this is the start of a new era for silver, or the kind of move that risks a painful pullback if macro winds shift.
