Silver price started the year near $70 on January 1 and surged to an all-time nominal high of $121 on January 29—then everything changed. In less than 30 hours, the market violently reversed, with silver plunging fr...

Silver just delivered one of its most volatile weeks on record, surging decisively above $100 per ounce as physical demand overwhelmed paper pricing.

Silver just closed near $67 an ounce, and for the first time in generations, that single ounce now buys an entire barrel of oil—a price relationship that almost never happens.

History shows this ratio doesn’t stop at parit...

Silver just hit a new all-time high (+$56 oz), and the fireworks started during a rare Thanksgiving-night CME outage. Beginning around 9:44 p.m. ET on November 27, CME futures trading was halted for nearly 10 hours, only resuming at 8:30 a.m. ET on November 28 — right as silver was breaking out. The timing has sparked big questions about what really happened and why the outage struck during one of...

Global silver inventories are collapsing at a pace we haven’t seen in decades, from China’s SGE/SHFE to COMEX and even major ETFs. Massive, irregular outflows—millions of ounces at a time—signal that something big is shifting beneath the surface of the silver market. Analysts now warn that this year’s silver deficit could become the deepest on record, with cumulative shortages since 2019 already e...

In the shadows of today’s noisy financial markets, a quieter and far more consequential shift is underway. China—long the world’s largest gold miner and now its most aggressive accumulator—is buying metal at a scale that dwarfs official disclosures.

Gold just defended the $4,000 line while silver flirted with $49, but beneath the headlines, the real action is happening in the vaults and trading desks. From JPMorgan’s bullish gold thesis to a massive 27-million-ounce silver drain, the setup for precious metals has rarely looked this dramatic. Even JPMorgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon is hinting at five-figure gold “$10,000 gold makes sense”, and that’s...

Silver just broke the $50 mark last week, and it’s stirring up the biggest buzz the bullion market’s seen in decades.

Silver is charging toward the $50 per oz mark, a price it hasn’t held since 1980 and 2011. Why $50 per oz is silver’s most important battle zone yet comes down to history, psychology, and supply strain all converging at once. Vault inventories are vanishing, institutional investors are still underweight, and global demand is hitting new highs. If silver breaks through and holds, it could spark a f...
