US Silver Price Rises to $75.44 per Ounce Today as COMEX Futures Extend Gains

US silver prices pushed higher on Thursday, with COMEX May silver futures holding above a key price threshold and extending the session’s upward move. The metal was quoted at $75.44 per ounce in late US trading, up $0.521 or 0.70%, according to the COMEX-delayed quote shown for Silver May ’26 (SI=F). That move kept silver comfortably above the $75 per ounce mark, a level traders often watch closely when momentum builds in precious metals.

The broader intraday picture also supported the bullish tone. Another live market snapshot showed silver at around $75.35 per ounce, up $0.69 or 0.92%, with the one-day chart reflecting a steady climb from early-session levels near $74.00 before multiple pushes toward the upper end of the day’s range. Taken together, those readings suggest that silver buyers remained active throughout the US session even after a few midday pullbacks.

Silver holds above a major price level as intraday momentum stays firm

What stands out most in today’s action is not just the size of the gain, but the way silver traded during the day. The one-day chart showed a choppy but constructive pattern, with prices beginning around the high $73 area, strengthening through the morning, and then repeatedly rebounding after short-lived dips. By the afternoon, silver had pressed to roughly the $76.00 to $76.10 area at its strongest point before easing back modestly. Even after that retreat, futures still held near $75.44, which left the market well above the day’s lower levels.

That kind of price behaviour often matters more than a headline percentage move. A gain of less than 1% can look modest at first glance, but intraday structure tells a more meaningful story. In this case, silver did not simply spike and fade. Instead, it spent much of the session building a higher range, recovering from dips, and defending an elevated trading zone. For traders and market watchers, that can be a sign that underlying demand remained in place across the session.

The contrast between the day’s approximate low near $74.00 and the late-session COMEX quote near $75.44 is also notable. That represents an intraday swing of roughly $1.44 per ounce from the lower band to the quoted late-session level. From the low to the session peak above $76, the move was even larger, highlighting just how active silver trading was during the day.

Another important detail is that silver kept trading above the chart’s mid-session reference zone near $74.92, which appeared as a visible benchmark on the futures screen. Remaining above that level while closing in the mid-$75 area reinforces the view that buyers retained control for most of the session. For a market as sentiment-sensitive as silver, staying above previously contested intraday levels can be just as important as the closing quote itself.

Key details behind today’s move and why silver is drawing attention

Silver tends to attract interest when it starts testing higher bands in a short period of time, and that is exactly what happened here. A move through $75 per ounce naturally grabs attention because round-number levels often become psychological markers for traders, momentum investors, and headline readers alike. Once silver trades cleanly above one of those thresholds, the conversation quickly shifts from whether the level can be reached to whether it can be held.

Thursday’s price action indicates that silver was able to do that for much of the session. The futures chart showed a series of higher pushes into the afternoon, including one stretch that took the contract to the strongest level of the day around the $76 line. Although the price later cooled from that peak, the pullback was limited enough to keep the broader tone positive. In practical terms, that means silver gave back part of its intraday surge without surrendering the larger gain.

For investors following the metal closely, the split between the 0.70% COMEX gain and the 0.92% move shown on the other live reading is not unusual. Different platforms can display slightly different timestamps, quote delays, or midpoint calculations, especially late in the session. What matters more is that both price snapshots pointed in the same direction and both kept silver firmly above $75.

The move also underlines how silver remains one of the more reactive corners of the metals market. Compared with assets that spend days drifting in narrow ranges, silver often responds quickly to buying flows, technical breakout interest, and short-term sentiment shifts. That responsiveness helps explain why a rise from around $74 to above $76 could develop in the same trading day before settling near $75.44.

Market participants looking for live contract context can track the COMEX silver futures listing, where delayed quotes and intraday chart action help frame the latest move. Based on the numbers visible today, silver did more than post a routine uptick. It reclaimed and held a headline price zone, traded through a wide daily range, and finished the visible session with a solid gain that keeps bullish momentum in focus.

With silver ending the day around $75.44 per ounce and the session high briefly clearing $76, the metal remains in a zone that is likely to keep drawing close attention. Even without a dramatic percentage jump, the combination of a firm late quote, repeated intraday rebounds, and a hold above $75 gives this move far more weight than the raw percentage alone might suggest.
