- The Kobeissi Letter noted that silver posted a strong year and that bonds are under pressure while crypto remains volatile.
- Silver has risen about 148% since 1979, marking a notable long-term gain for the metal.

Silver prices have moved higher as investors shift toward safe-haven assets amid growing geopolitical tensions, including recent focus on the US and Greenland, according to a January 18, 2026 update. Markets favor metals while bonds weaken and crypto stays volatile, driving fresh demand for silver and gold.
The Kobeissi Letter highlighted the metal’s strong performance and current market stress; according to the update, “The million-dollar question: What happens to Silver? This is your reminder that silver just posted its best year since 1979 during the 2025 trade war, rising +148%. Bonds have been getting crushed, and crypto remains highly volatile, solidifying gold and silver as the global safe havens. More uncertainty, less stability, and fragmented global trade are a safe haven trade’s best friend. Asset owners will keep on winning.”
The note stressed that rising uncertainty and reduced stability favor safe-haven trades. The report noted a 148% rise since 1979 as part of silver’s long-term gains and highlighted current flows away from bonds and into metals.
Rashad Hajiyev, a metals analyst, outlined a scenario linking gold and silver prices. His profile is available on X, and he also posted the projection in a tweet; in that message he said the gold-to-silver ratio may move toward lows near 32 and could dip below 30, and that a $6,000 gold target by April 2026 would imply a silver price above $200.
Together, these updates present a market view that heightened geopolitical risk, pressured bonds, and crypto volatility are strengthening demand for silver and gold as refuge assets.
