Sorry to hear about your family.
I want to reiterate my point that silver is both a speculative (monetary) and industrial metal. It is very thinly traded and quite illiquid (there are actually more value traded in contracts than in actual metal), so the price changes can be exceptionally volatile, which is also the case for platinum group metals.
The demand for silver comes both from monetary speculation (as a store of value during inflationary times) and as an industrial metal. So when there are interest rate hikes you would expect the price growth to slow down, because there will only be the industrial demand (which may also drop due to the rate hikes).
But in the long term the industrial demand appears solid because as the population grows the growth in electronics/enery infrastructure accelerates also. The metal cannot be recycled that easily.
Consequently I would expect the price to settle around 60-70$ in the next two years. 100$ is aggressive but possible in the next decade.
