Loading ...Silver’s $196 Destiny? The Same Force That Pushed Gold Past Its Inflation-Adjusted High in 2025 Is Coming For Silver!
 |
While silver’s recent surge to a new nominal high of $59 has captured headlines, the real story is that silver is still one of the most undervalued assets on the planet.
Using the US government’s own official (and notoriously understated) inflation data, the 1980 peak of $50 is worth $196.59 in today’s money.
That means, even after its recent run, silver is only ~29% of the way to its real, inflation-adjusted all-time high. It’s not even a third of the way there; it has a long, long way to go.

When you combine this historic undervaluation with a deepening supply deficit and an explosion in demand from every corner of the global economy, the question is no longer if a silver super-spike is coming, but when.
As the top chart above clearly shows, gold has already eclipsed its 1980 inflation-adjusted high. Silver, on the other hand, has a long, long way to run.
This isn’t just a historical curiosity; it’s a measure of the immense potential energy that is currently stored in the silver price, that will eventually be unleashed.
The Government’s Inflation Lie
But here’s the critical point: even that $196.59 figure is a lie. It is based on the official Consumer Price Index (CPI), a government-managed statistic that has been repeatedly altered over the decades for the sole purpose of understating the true cost of living.
Through statistical wizardry like hedonics (adjusting for quality improvements) and substitution (assuming you’ll buy chicken when steak gets too expensive), the government creates a fantasy number that bears little resemblance to the reality of household budgets.
If you were to calculate the 1980 high using the original, unaltered CPI methodology from that era, the inflation-adjusted price would be around $500 or possibly even higher.
This means that at $59, silver isn’t ~29% of the way to its real high; it’s closer to 10%. The level of undervaluation is almost impossible to comprehend, and it highlights the sheer explosive potential of the coming repricing.
