Robert Kiyosaki shares tips on smart investing, says silver prices could rise to $200 per ounce in 2026
Silver prices touched record high of $78 per ounce on hopes of Fed rate cut
American businessman and author of ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, Robert Kiyosaki, said that silver prices could reach $200 per ounce in 2026. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Kiyosaki said, "$70- $200 silver could be an outside reality in 2026".
Silver prices have risen over 150 per cent in 2025, hitting a record $78 per ounce this week. The rise in prices of white metal was primarily due to expectations of another rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in January. Additionally, industrial demand for the precious metal, combined with concerns about supply disruptions, is driving the high prices of silver.
In a later post on X, Kiyosaki said that silver is going to break $80 an ounce, saying that silver is hotter than gold. He also said that, based on expectations that silver prices could rise further in the upcoming year, it is not too late to invest in the white metal.
“Is It Too Late To Buy Silver?” Kiyosaki posted. "It depends. If you think silver is at an all-time high, then you’re too late. I believe silver is just getting started, and I believe $70- $200 silver could be an outside reality in 2026."
He said that there are many reasons why silver prices could touch $200 per ounce and suggested potential investors do their own research and decide for themselves.
Kiyosaki said that he had started acquiring silver in 1965. At that time, silver prices were less than a dollar per ounce.
"I continue to acquire silver at $70 an ounce. The best way for you to get richer is to do your own research... Start small... Then your wealth will be in your head and in your hands," he said.
The demand-supply mismatch has led to a sharp rally in silver prices. Demand for silver has risen in sectors such as clean energy, electric vehicles, solar panels, artificial intelligence and data centres, etc.
Meanwhile, the supply of silver has declined over the past five years. As a comparison, with the rise in push for electric vehicles, which require 67 to 79 per cent more silver than other conventional cars, the concerns over a supply disruption have led to a sharp rise in silver prices. Additionally, new tech also has a higher demand for silver prices, and overall silver demand is expected to be on the rise.
Another major reason for the rise in silver prices has been due to higher demand for safe haven assets amid global trade and tariff concerns. Investors have diversified into silver, with gold also touching record highs.
