Silver prices extended a rally into Monday, August 10, 2026, with September futures opening at $63.80 per ounce, up 0.5 percent from Friday's close. The metal continued climbing through the morning session, touching $64.03 per ounce by 8:34 a.m. ET, according to Yahoo Finance market data.
The move builds on a rally that began after Friday's weaker than expected July jobs report. The surprise contraction in hiring led many traders to scale back expectations for a near term interest rate increase from the Federal Reserve. Lower rate expectations tend to support silver and other non yielding assets, since they reduce the opportunity cost of holding metals over interest bearing investments.
Silver's short term performance has been sharp. The metal is up 10.6 percent over the past week and 6.4 percent over the past month. Measured against a year ago, silver is up 65.8 percent, reflecting a run that saw year over year gains reach as high as 173.3 percent in mid May.
Investors are now watching two inflation reports scheduled for release later this week. Those readings are expected to help clarify whether employment weakness or inflation pressure will carry more weight in the Federal Reserve's September policy decision. The outcome could determine whether silver's rally continues or cools as the market digests fresh economic data.
For US investors, the price swings underscore silver's growing role as both an industrial and monetary metal, with access points ranging from physical bullion to exchange traded funds tracking the spot price or mining equities.
