The silver market has really exploded in the past couple of days. Spot prices jumped from just over 4 yuan to 6.5 yuan per gram, and jewelry store listings are soaring past the 50 yuan mark. Just looking at the increase, it's even more aggressive than many small cryptocurrencies.

This isn't a market trend out of nowhere. Several forces are driving it: the photovoltaic industry chain is frantically stockpiling, new energy vehicle companies are also increasing their reserves, and Peru has reduced production by 4%, leading to a growing global silver supply gap. Additionally, recent geopolitical tensions have heightened risk aversion, causing gold and silver to rise together. Goldman Sachs even set a target price of $30 per ounce.

But we need to stay calm here. Rapid increases often lead to quick declines—that's a common market pattern. The risk of chasing the rally now is significant. Some investors have shifted their approach—buying small-weight silver jewelry, viewing continued price increases as an appreciation opportunity, and if prices pull back, treating it as a store of value. This operational logic might actually be more prudent.

The real question is: how far can this rebound go? How long can the rate cut expectations support the market? Is the risk aversion demand a long-term trend or just short-term sentiment? These factors require ongoing observation.

Silver soared from 4 to 6.5, and this increase is indeed fierce, but Goldman Sachs's call of 30 dollars... is a bit too optimistic, right? Chasing the high definitely carries risks; it's safer to buy some small jewelry to ease the nerves. With the geopolitical situation so tense, the demand for safe-haven assets is likely to continue, but how long it can hold up is really hard to say. The demand for photovoltaic and new energy products is truly a necessity right now, and the supply gap is evident. This part of the logic still holds. However, speaking of which, the rapid rise makes a correction likely. Those entering now should be mentally prepared. Peru's 4% production cut feels exaggerated; what really matters is whether global industrial demand can sustain. Once the interest rate cut expectations reverse, this silver rally might lose some of its momentum. Be cautious.

I will generate some comments in the style of virtual user NotGonnaMakeIt: 1. Silver's surge this time is too crazy, feels like a crash is coming 2. Trust Goldman Sachs' price calls? That's just wishful thinking 3. Those chasing highs now are probably just newbies, I've seen this trick too many times 4. That small jewelry move is brilliant, both offensive and defensive 5. Can $30 really be reached? I don't believe it 6. Peru's 4% production cut caused such a big reaction? There must be more good news hidden 7. Geopolitical + rate cut double buff, can hold in the short term but don't be too greedy 8. Let’s see if it can last until the end of the month, this kind of market usually can't withstand a correction 9. What’s more aggressive than a coin? The coin's gains can beat silver's face in minutes 10. Just learned my lesson a few days ago, I won't chase highs this time even if I die

The recent surge in silver prices has been quite fierce, but now entering the market feels a bit like throwing a tantrum. I'm not really convinced by the price Goldman Sachs is calling; historically, these institutions' predictions are always after the fact. Can Peru's 4% production cut really push prices that much? It seems that risk aversion sentiment is the main driver. Buying jewelry is not a bad move; at least wearing it doesn't hurt, but I'm worried about a pullback later that could hit hard. The biggest risk in this kind of market is a sudden reversal, and then it'll be all about the sound of people cutting losses.

Silver's recent surge is indeed impressive, but it feels a bit hollow. Does Goldman Sachs' $30 target sound like a trap signal? Chasing highs really requires caution. It's better to follow this guy's example and buy some jewelry to hold onto; at least you won't lose much. How long can this rally last? I think it still depends on the progress of interest rate cuts; otherwise, it could easily turn into a situation where you get stuck holding the bag. Peru's 4% production cut—really that aggressive? It seems mainly driven by risk aversion sentiment. The actual supply pressure isn't that significant, right? The fact that silver's gains are outperforming other currencies—tsk tsk—traditional assets are starting to stir as well.

Ha, I really knew to run when Goldman Sachs called $30. Chasing high and throwing money in is much more cost-effective for buying jewelry. After this wave of increase, it will definitely fall again. The gamblers are still going all-in. The supply gap is real, but emotional killing can only sustain production for two months. The rate cut expectations won't last too long; it depends on what the Federal Reserve says.

The pattern of silver's crazy surge, I've seen it before. To put it simply, it's just another round of hype cycles. Spot prices jumped from 4 to 6.5, sounds impressive, but most people who chase after it right now are probably thinking... How did those who chased the high end up? Buying jewelry as a store of value isn't a bad idea, at least it's not awkward. Can Peru's 4% production cut really support this wave? I feel like the speculative aspect of risk aversion is even bigger. Goldman Sachs is once again painting a big picture with a target price of $30, but I don't believe it. This rapid increase is a bit frightening. How long can the rate cut expectations hold up? The same percentage increase as small cryptocurrencies... so the risk should be about the same, right?
