Where was the news when silver was going up and having the best days it’s had since 1981?

On January 26, 2026, silver experienced its largest one-day jump in 45 years, with front-month futures soaring by 14%. Spot silver prices surged to over $109 per ounce that day, driven by heightened safe-haven demand and industrial usage. The rally continued to push silver prices toward $120 by January 29, 2026.

And regardless, silver is still at an all-time high.

When you start saying that the news is biased against certain commodities or equities, you’ll start to see how the game is played. This is a tactic of JP Morgan.

Volatility is expected. Always remember that. Volatility is expected in fragile economies.
