Silver Prices Pause Near $65.25 Following Multi-Week Rally Driven by Industrial Deficits
August 18, 2026 – Spot silver traded slightly lower near $65.26 per ounce during Tuesday's session, undergoing minor profit-taking following a multi-week rally.
The temporary pause comes after the metal logged strong consecutive gains to touch multi-month highs near $66.30 per ounce.
Investors are weighing near-term dollar adjustments against persistent physical supply deficits and accelerating industrial green-energy consumption.
Multi-Year Industrial Deficit Structural Support
A major fundamental driver bolstering silver's long-term valuation is the expanding global supply-demand imbalance.
Industry data highlights a sixth consecutive annual supply shortfall, with total structural market deficits projected at 46.3 million ounces for 2026.
Rapid expansion in photovoltaic solar manufacturing, 5G networking infrastructure, and electric vehicle production continues to absorb available physical inventory.
Macroeconomic Signals and Currency Fluctuations
Macroeconomic sentiment remains largely supportive as recent soft U.S. inflation data dampens expectations for further monetary policy tightening.
The resulting yields moderation on sovereign debt instruments has lowered the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding physical commodities.
Concurrently, strong physical bullion demand across key Asian markets—particularly India—continues to establish a firm price floor during price retracements.
Technical Outlook and Consolidation Levels
From a technical analysis perspective, XAG/USD faces immediate psychological resistance near the $66.00–$66.50 trading zone.
Ch-artists note that holding above primary support near $64.85 keeps the broader medium-term bullish trajectory intact.
A decisive close above current resistance could open pathways toward late-summer targets around the $68.00 level.
