Silver (SI=F<\/a>) July futures opened at $58.03 per ounce on Friday, June 26, 2026, down 1.3% from Thursday’s closing price. The silver price has remained steady this morning, reaching $58.71 as of 7:47 a.m. ET. <\/p>\n

Just two weeks ago, the price of silver was driven higher by the president’s announcement that the war with Iran had ended. But short-lived headlines are no longer driving silver prices. For gold and silver, it’s the Fed and its future plans for interest rates that are currently in the driver’s seat. <\/p>\n

High inflation has many analysts pricing in at least one rate increase later this year, which has been pressuring silver prices lower. Silver prices are down 21.7% since June 1, and down 9.1% since Monday. <\/p>\n

The latest Personal Consumption Expenditures index<\/a>, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, rose 4.1% in May, the highest level in three years. Yet, month over month, inflation rose to 0.4%, less than expected. <\/p>\n

Investing in silver? Here’s how to avoid taxes.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Do you have to pay taxes on silver? Yes. Silver is a capital asset, so when you sell it for more than you paid, the gain is taxable and reported on Schedule D<\/a> of your federal return. <\/p>\n

Many investors assume holding silver for more than a year qualifies them for the same long-term capital gains rates as stocks (0%, 15% or 20%). <\/p>\n

Spoiler: It doesn’t. <\/p>\n

The 28% collectible tax trap <\/p>\n

The IRS classifies physical precious metals \u2014 including bars, rounds, and coins \u2014 as collectibles. That classification changes the tax math in a big way. <\/p>\n

Short-term gains <\/p>\n

If you hold silver for one year or less, your profit is taxed as ordinary income. Depending on your tax bracket<\/a>, that could go as high as 37%. <\/p>\n

Long-term gains <\/p>\n

If you hold silver for more than one year, your gain is taxed at your ordinary income rate \u2014 but no more than 28%. <\/p>\n

Here’s what that looks like in real life: <\/p>\n

If you’re in the 10%, 12%, 22% or 24% bracket, your silver gain is taxed at that same rate. <\/p>\n

If you’re in the 32%, 35% or 37% bracket, you’re capped at 28%. <\/p>\n

So if you’re a middle-income earner accustomed to paying 15% on stock gains, silver can cost you more, maybe 22% or 24%, depending on your adjusted gross income. <\/p>\n

If you’re in the top brackets, the 28% cap is technically a discount versus 35% or 37% \u2014 but it’s still higher than the 20% max long-term capital gains rate on stocks. <\/p>\n

That difference adds up quickly when you’re talking five- or six-figure gains. <\/p>\n
