History

Historical Context

The Silver Crisis of 1980 was marked by a dramatic price surge to $49.45 per ounce, largely due to the Hunt brothers' market manipulation. This event prompted U.S. government intervention to stabilize the market. The recent 60% rise in silver prices in 2025, driven by renewable energy and AI demand, reflects ongoing volatility and the potential for speculative bubbles in commodity markets.
