At 9:00 AM ET today, May 20, 2026, the spot price of silver is $75.76 per troy ounce, representing a 0.37% dip compared to yesterday’s opening price of $76.04. For wholesale or volume buyers, silver’s physical spot value stands at $2,435.74 per kilogram.
Despite a minor pullback this morning due to a stronger U.S. dollar, silver continues to exhibit immense structural resilience compared to gold. While jumping yields are keeping precious metals in a broad consolidation phase, silver's downside is heavily protected by a massive manufacturing squeeze. Industrial restocking—particularly across solar energy and electronic manufacturing components—remains highly active following the recent 90-day U.S.-China tariff truce, keeping silver's multi-year structural supply deficit at the forefront of market fundamentals.
