Silver futures traded well above $64 an ounce multiple times before the question's Aug. 14, 2026 cutoff, clearing the threshold early in the window. September silver futures opened at $65.94 on Aug. 11, 2026, extending a rally that had already roughly doubled silver's price during 2026. The move was driven in part by a weaker-than-expected July jobs report released Aug. 7, which raised expectations of Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts and pushed investors toward precious metals, compounded by safe-haven demand tied to the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz shipping disruptions. By mid-August, silver prices were up more than 70% year over year. The community unanimously forecast the $64 threshold would be cleared (100% yes), and it was, with prices holding well above that level across the final days before the deadline.
