"A year or two, three years down the road, I believe gold will be higher and silver will be higher. These are not assets that will historically go down for a long period of time and stay there," said Gary Wagner of TheGoldForecast.com.
Gary Wagner, executive producer at TheGoldForecast.com, shares his gold and silver outlook, commenting on this week's US Federal Reserve meeting as well as what could happen in 2026.
While large corrections can occur, he has a bullish long-term outlook for both precious metals.

2026 has begun, and the Investing News Network (INN) is looking forward to the new year.
To kick it off, our team asked nine experts to share their highest-conviction sectors.
Here's what they had to say.
After silver's record-setting 2025 run, it's no surprise that it topped the list for many of the people INN spoke to. Here's Substack newsletter writer John Rubino summing up the case for silver.
Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Asset Management and Schiff Gold mentioned silver too, although he also said he sees mining stocks overall doing well.
Similarly, Craig Hemke of TFMetalsReport.com is bullish on silver, but said his choice for top-performing asset of 2026 would be silver-mining stocks.
While silver was definitely in the spotlight, gold wasn't forgotten by the market watchers INN talked to. Byron King of Paradigm Press highlighted the yellow metal's ability to preserve wealth.
Uranium also came up multiple times in INN's conversations, with the overall concept being that the long-term story looks positive given strong demand and tightening supply.
Copper also took the top spot for a number of the experts INN heard from, including Lobo Tiggre of IndependentSpeculator.com. Copper was his highest-confidence trade for 2025, and he chose the base metal again for the year ahead.
Unsurprisingly, Rick Rule of Rule Investment Media went outside the box.
Gareth Soloway of VerifiedInvesting.com also had an alternate take. Although he believes gold will perform well in 2026, he said it won't necessarily be the top-performing asset.
Finally, Clem Chambers of aNewFN.com spoke about why he sees promise in Intel.

2025 was a breakout year for gold and silver, and throughout its twists and turns the Investing News Network (INN) turned to experts for help navigating the markets.
The INN team spoke with dozens of industry insiders over the course of the year, spending time with seasoned professionals who can provide guidance on the way forward.
As the year wraps up, INN is counting down the five most popular guests of 2025. Read on to learn who grabbed our audience's attention, and watch the videos to find out what they had to say.
Kicking off the list in the fifth spot is Don Durrett of GoldStockData.com.
In this January interview, Don shared his silver and gold price outlook for 2025, as well as his 15 "must-own" silver stocks. We don't have time here for the full list, but I'll leave the link to the video below. For now, here's Don talking about why he's so bullish on silver and gold stocks.
Peter Grandich of Peter Grandich & Co. is next.
This interview is from all the way back in February, when gold was still around US$2,800 per ounce. Peter talked about how US$5,000 was no longer sounding outlandish to him, and also explained how the higher gold price could impact mining companies.
Vince Lanci of Echobay Partners is always a popular guest, and in mid-October he helped break down unusual dynamics in silver, which had broken through US$50 per ounce.
Ed Steer of Ed Steer's Gold and Silver Digest comes in at number two. This interview is also from mid-October, and in it Ed weighed in on the silver market's complex inner workings. Ed also gave his thoughts on the precious metal's long-term prospects.
Finally, our most popular interview of 2025 was with none other than Rick Rule of Rule Investment Media. In this early November conversation, he said he had recently sold 25 percent of his junior gold stocks; he also explained why he did it and how he redeployed that capital.

Craig Hemke, publisher of TFMetalsReport.com, shares his thoughts on the gold and silver markets heading into 2026, outlining why he remains bullish.
"Just keep adding some — it's your protection against the madness. It'll get you through the storm," he said. "It preserves your net worth from the destruction of these bankers and politicians."

Lobo Tiggre, CEO of IndependentSpeculator.com, described uranium’s key role in providing baseload energy, a narrative that is only being heightened by added artificial intelligence data center and electric vehicle (EV) demand projections.
“The use case is baseload power. There’s no substitution, and the world is building like gangbusters,” he explained. “If the EV story completely went away, it wouldn’t undo the thesis for uranium, It would remove a tailwind, not the base story.”

While 2025 brought little movement in the spot price, he believes the stage is set for higher numbers.
