Transcript
- 0:01Vladimir Putin makes a bold move in precious metals and there's a
- 0:05lot more to this story than just what we're hearing on the
- 0:09surface. We'll dig into that.
- 0:11But first, is there a going out of business sale at the big
- 0:15major exchanges? Is the COMEX having what other
- 0:18people out in front? Somebody needs to go by and take
- 0:20a picture. Are there people out in front of
- 0:22the COMEX with signs that say going out of business sale?
- 0:25Let's go take a look at why I'm saying that and then, yes, we
- 0:29will talk about the current state of the silver and gold
- 0:33market, which is a little uncomfortable today, but we get
- 0:37this from traditional money. Who says silver inventories are
- 0:41disappearing? All right, Should we call it an
- 0:43inventory clearance sale or a going out of business sale?
- 0:47The LBMA down 21.4 million oz, the COMEX down 119, the point
- 0:546,000,000 oz. This is from the start of 2026.
- 0:59Guys were only what, 3 months into the year?
- 1:02And the Shanghai Futures Exchange down 168.15 tons.
- 1:08The world's three biggest silver vaults are being drained, and
- 1:13this comes from a chart from Silver Elephant Mining.
- 1:16There's the numbers right there. OK, we're going to talk about
- 1:19Vladimir Putin next, but let's go out and look at the bad news
- 1:23today going on in the precious metals markets.
- 1:26We are looking at the spot price of gold down $124 per oz.
- 1:32Silver in this quote UN quote spot market at $67.80.
- 1:39Let's look at silver in the futures market, 67, 50.
- 1:42So we are backward dated slightly with the futures price.
- 1:47Remember this is the May contract.
- 1:49So that's the futures price being slightly lower than what
- 1:54what we have in the spot market. That is a very unusual
- 1:57situation. Let's take a look at the dollar
- 2:01index because that's providing some temporary headwinds to both
- 2:05the silver and gold price. As you can see we're at 90,
- 2:109.87, right below 100. But as you know on a long term
- 2:15basis, heck, we'll just pull it up and look on a like 50 year
- 2:19chart. We are right here.
- 2:22Get rid of that. Hold on, here we are.
- 2:26Hold on, we are right at 100 right there.
- 2:30We are traditionally pretty darn high.
- 2:33We've only been above 100 for a couple periods out of the last
- 2:36number of years. So temporary headwinds to the
- 2:40silver and gold price. And heck, since we're outgoing
- 2:43on a little Internet field trip, let's not forget this is what
- 2:48supports everything AUS national debt of $39 trillion and
- 2:52counting. Let's get the big 40 trillion
- 2:55party ready and the paper upper to silver ratio still sitting at
- 3:00383 to 1. So we are living in a make
- 3:05believe world when it comes to the paper price of silver and
- 3:10the paper price of gold. And we're going to talk about
- 3:13now a big, big move by Vladimir Putin.
- 3:16OK, this is big. But on top of that, there's much
- 3:20more to this when we go a little underneath, underneath the
- 3:23surface as to what we can expect within the precious metals
- 3:26markets. You know, the headline news is
- 3:28always one thing, but there's always all this depth underneath
- 3:32what's really going on. And I think we've got some great
- 3:35points to look at when we when we check out what's going on
- 3:39right now with the gold and silver markets.
- 3:43And we get this, and this comes from Bloomberg.
- 3:47Second biggest gold producer on Earth is banning exports.
- 3:52So big headline news yesterday, Russia is banning gold exports.
- 3:57Now I get why the panic buyers are reaching out.
- 4:00Putin signs decree limiting gold bullion exports from May from
- 4:05Bloomberg Putin signs banning decree banning gold bullion
- 4:09exports exceeding 100 grams from Russia starting May 1st.
- 4:14Does have some exceptions. But guys, the important thing to
- 4:18consider here, OK, This is not only Russia that is banning gold
- 4:23exports, but also China, right? The two two of the world's
- 4:27biggest gold powerhouses more more to consider on this OK
- 4:32Russia is not like does not have a shortage of gold.
- 4:36They are the world's one of the world's largest producers so why
- 4:40would they be think about this they're one of the world's
- 4:42biggest producers of gold. Why would they be banning
- 4:46exports if they have all this gold?
- 4:48OK, All right, we'll get into that.
- 4:50Gold is no longer just a commodity right now.
- 4:53It is becoming, not becoming. I apologize, I said that wrong.
- 4:58Gold is reclaiming its spot and silver as the world's original
- 5:05reserve currencies. It's being used in trade.
- 5:08Countries aren't trusting each other.
- 5:10And it's getting, we got a, we got a some very interesting
- 5:14developments in our world that we're going to talk about.
- 5:17They're protecting real money, OK?
- 5:20They know. And, and, and Putin's on record
- 5:22saying this like 2 years ago, like the West uses imaginary
- 5:26make believe money, right? They print whatever they want,
- 5:29blah blah, blah. So think about this, OK?
- 5:32China is not allowing gold exports.
- 5:35Russia is not allowing gold exports on top of that.
- 5:39We know that. Hold on a second.
- 5:42OK, sorry about that. We know this this we talked
- 5:45about this what a week ago, right?
- 5:48China, the, the, the big summit between President Xi Jinping and
- 5:52China and Donald Trump was canceled. the United States says
- 5:55it was Trump who decided to cancel it.
- 5:57And I think we're getting reports from China that that are
- 6:00saying maybe insinuating the China was the one that canceled
- 6:03it. All right.
- 6:04And we have the war in the Middle East, which we're going
- 6:07to get an update on, a very simple update because it's very
- 6:11confusing, but some powerful simple points that are made
- 6:13about what's going on there. A big war at the same time.
- 6:17The bottom line is, think about it, when it comes to and gold,
- 6:21the countries of the world are hoarding it.
- 6:24OK, The world central banks we know are hoarding it.
- 6:28Tether, the world's biggest crypto company, is hoarding it.
- 6:31They're the world's biggest buyer of gold behind central
- 6:33banks because there's a breakdown in trust.
- 6:37There's massive uncertainty. I don't like it.
- 6:39I wish we, I'm sure you do too. We wish we lived in a more
- 6:43certain safe, peaceful world. But there's a lot of turmoil
- 6:48going on in the world right now. That's why we come to the
- 6:51basement and hang out with each other.
- 6:54It's like a safe harbor during these uncertain times and I love
- 6:58when you come down here and spend some time with me.
- 7:01We trust each other. Please do us a favor.

- 7:19Now we're going to good. We're going to get to the war in
- 7:23big things there in just one, one second.
- 7:25But to show that there's a scramble in the world for gold.
- 7:28It's not just Russia saying we want our gold or China saying we
- 7:32want our gold or this big news report, which I'm going to cover
- 7:35tomorrow, that France, the country of France just
- 7:38refinished, repatriating all of their gold.
- 7:41Let's take a quick look at what's happening in Turkey.
- 7:47This is crazy. Gold is gone in Turkey.
- 7:51OK, here's a post and we're going to come back because
- 7:54there's more, a jeweler in Bilek, Bilekchek said.
- 7:58I've been a jeweler for 28 years in Turkey.
- 8:03This is the first time there's no gold in 28 years.
- 8:10If there were any gold, we'd be selling it.
- 8:13And I can't read Turkish, but I believe his sign says, sorry, no
- 8:17gold for you, No soup for you, no gold for you.
- 8:20Now let's go down and see what's happening in in, in Japan
- 8:26because JP and I Japan shares this with us.
- 8:29OK, Similar story for silver in Japan.
- 8:32I went to some dealers and they have super low supplies.
- 8:37Also trading P2P on the biggest Japanese type eBay site at a 58%
- 8:43premium over what the COMEX says the prices right now.
- 8:48So it's happening in Turkey, it's happening in Japan, it's
- 8:52happening. We know in Singapore, we get
- 8:54updates from Bullion Star, big groups.
- 8:56People are scrambling, countries are scrambling, companies are
- 9:00scrambling to get their hands on these metals.
- 9:02Why? Because there's a massive
- 9:04breakdown interest in the world right now.

- 9:51Canadian gold developer with two huge multi million ounce
- 9:54projects in Canada. I have a interview coming out
- 9:58tomorrow that we did with Paul Morris, their Director of
- 10:01Investor Relations and Richard Juan, their Vice President of
- 10:05Corporate Development. A lot of exciting things going
- 10:08on with First Mining Gold and you can learn more about them at
- 10:12firstmininggold.com and we are back.
- 10:16Oh, and please don't forget, I'm not a financial advisor.
- 10:19Don't buy or sell silver, gold, stocks, bonds, mutual funds,
- 10:21cryptocurrency. Adopt A puppy.
- 10:23Don't do anything based on what I say.
- 10:26Always be responsible with any of your financial decisions.
- 10:29I will give that advice. Let's get an update on what's
- 10:33going on in the war. I thought this summed it up as
- 10:37good as anything and this comes from WF whale fudd.
- 10:42Big account as I remember 440,000 of followers.
- 10:47He said the current war situation Trump you have 48
- 10:51hours to meet her demands. Iran says we won't Trump then
- 10:55let's take 5 days and negotiate. Iran says.
- 10:58Iran says we're not stopping. Trump says how about a one month
- 11:01ceasefire. Iran says not needed Trump then
- 11:05we'll send U.S. troops and Iran says come closer.
- 11:08All in the span of a week. It's a I'm not I will say this.
- 11:13I'm not a political channel, but I don't like war.
- 11:16I don't like what's going on. But when I read that, I thought
- 11:20that kind of seems like what's been happening lately.
- 11:22Let's hope for the best out there in the world, but we
- 11:25aren't going to keep our heads in the sand, right?
- 11:28There's a lot of turmoil, a lot of uncertainty going on in the
- 11:32world right now. A lot of why the gold and silver
- 11:35price have been beat down during this war, right?
- 11:38Everybody's confused. I get it.
- 11:40Everybody thinks, oh, when the water breaks out, people should
- 11:42be going to safe haven. People are because gold has been
- 11:46such a safe haven. And I read this last night from
- 11:49one of the top analysts, right? It's given people in areas of
- 11:53the world that are being torn apart right now the ability to
- 11:57use that gold to protect themselves.
- 12:00Unfortunately, that meant that a lot of people in a lot of parts
- 12:03of the world have had to liquidate their gold and silver
- 12:06holdings, right, to raise cash. That's why the US dollar is
- 12:10going up in the end, right? Look, it's not good noise.
- 12:14I don't like war at all. I wish it wasn't happening, but
- 12:17it's a lot of short term noise. Gold and silver in the long run
- 12:21are going to do incredibly, incredibly well.
- 12:24OK, the a big secret factor that will push up the price of gold
- 12:31and silver is the tokenization of gold and silver.
- 12:36And it's happening on a mass scale right now.
- 12:39I even heard Pierre Lasson, the legendary Pierre Lasson talking
- 12:42about the company Tether the other day.
- 12:45They have this product XAUT. It's a gold token.
- 12:49Each token, right, is backed by 1 ounce of real gold and a
- 12:52vault. And big news came out.
- 12:54Even Kitco is following this story about what Tether is doing
- 12:59next in this is a is a big major development.
- 13:04It says with gold holdings reaching sovereign scale.
- 13:08Yes, this company Tether has as much gold now as a let when they
- 13:12say sovereign scale, they mean as many countries in the world.
- 13:16Tether announces the first full audit by a BIG4 firm.
- 13:21That's one of the big Four accounting firms.
- 13:24Tether, the largest stable coin issue in the world and one of
- 13:27the largest buyers and holders of physical gold, announced it
- 13:31is that it has engaged one of the big four accounting firms to
- 13:34conduct the first full independent audit since its
- 13:37founding. What that means is they are
- 13:39going to allow the Big Four accounting firm to confirm, to
- 13:43validate that yes, indeed, for each one of those tokens that
- 13:48the Tether has created, the gold token, there is one ounce of
- 13:52gold in the vaults in Switzerland.
- 13:54In an announcement published at the company's website, Tether
- 13:57said the long-awaited move would constitute the largest ever
- 14:02inaugural audit in the history of financial markets, a scale
- 14:08rarely seen outside the world's largest financial largest
- 14:11sovereign institutions, and encompassing a unique, complex
- 14:16mix of digital assets, traditional reserves and
- 14:19tokenized liabilities. This audit marks a defining
- 14:22moment not only for Tether, but for the evolution of modern
- 14:26finance itself. Whether you like crypto or don't
- 14:29like crypto, that's besides the point.
- 14:32Everybody's entitled to their own thoughts or the blockchain.
- 14:35Tokenized gold. Tokenized silver is here to
- 14:39stay, and it's growing and growing.
- 14:41And the reason why it's important is because each time
- 14:45one of these tokens is created, it requires, in this instance,
- 14:50Tether, to buy an ounce of gold or buy an ounce of silver.
- 14:54There's tokenized silver products out there as well from
- 14:58the company Kinesis. I'm doing research on Kinesis by
- 15:00the way. If any of you guys have worked
- 15:02with them or have an opinion, send me an e-mail.
- 15:05You can get the e-mail address and the description of this
- 15:07video. Nonetheless it could it is it is
- 15:11people all over the world and Pierre Lassan said this like the
- 15:14five 500 million people have have have have access to crypto
- 15:19wallets and access to this tokenized gold right and think
- 15:23about it right throughout the world, people love gold, people
- 15:27love silver. So whether you like the
- 15:28blockchain, crypto, any of that that, that that's besides the
- 15:31point. The reality is that as tokenized
- 15:34gold and silver continue to be adopted, it's going to create.
- 15:38I believe in five years we're going to be down here and you're
- 15:41going to say, we talked about it first in the basement that it's
- 15:45going to be the biggest, you know, like solar and still is,
- 15:49right. This big new wave of demand for
- 15:52silver, the tokenization of gold and silver will be the next big
- 15:56wave of demand for gold and silver as we take weather move
- 16:01through the coming months, quarters and years.
- 16:04Very, very interesting. Let's go to our good friend, the
- 16:07silver billionaire, David Bateman, who's putting out more
- 16:11powerful statements about silver.
- 16:15It's incredible. Before I do that, I also want to
- 16:17say thank you to channel sponsor Brixton Metals.
- 16:20They're Canadian Metals Exploration company.
- 16:24It's a stock I own personally for six years before they
- 16:27sponsored the channel. They've got 4 projects, all of
- 16:31them are in Canada, in the United States, and their
- 16:33exploration projects are for copper, gold, silver, nickel,
- 16:38and they just put out some incredible interesting drill
- 16:41results from their Langus Silver project up in Canada.
- 16:45Again, I'm not a financial advisor.
- 16:47All stocks, all bonds, everything is risky.
- 16:50Please do your own research and be responsible as well.
- 16:54What I would say. All right, let's go to the
- 16:55silver billionaire and see what he's up to.
- 16:58Our old friend, he's dropping it.
- 17:00He's dropping the mic on this one.
- 17:02But then we've got a little manifesto that he wrote that
- 17:05we're going to read as well. David Bateman.
- 17:07Yeah, this guy owns like 15,000,000 ounces of physical
- 17:12silver. He says this.
- 17:14This is the 2030 monetary Olympics.
- 17:17Spoiler alert, the gold medal in 20-30 will go to silver, the
- 17:23silver medal will go to gold, and the bronze medal will go to
- 17:28copper. Dishonorable mentions Fiat,
- 17:31crypto, and CBDC. OK, now let's go on to the next
- 17:36one from Mr. Bateman. This is a powerful that last one
- 17:40was fun, but true. This is a powerful statement
- 17:43from Bateman. The mathematical certainty of
- 17:45Fiat in credit collapse. OK, it look, math shows no
- 17:49forgiveness, guys on the on the altar of truth.
- 17:53Remember, we looked at the US debt clock just a little bit
- 17:55ago. We are up a Creek without a
- 17:57paddle. The credit collapse is
- 17:59simultaneously our biggest risk and greatest opportunity.
- 18:04In the short term, you should have a plan to feed and protect
- 18:07your family. In an extreme collapse scenario,
- 18:10he says it could be coming. On the other hand, this is the
- 18:13greatest chance in history, excuse me, to put an end to the
- 18:18secret criminal networks that run the world.
- 18:20They're scared. They've been meticulously
- 18:22planned to maintain power through this collapse for
- 18:25decades, but it's not insured. We decide what kind of world
- 18:30will rise from the ashes. Will you fight for the right
- 18:33outcome? What can you do?
- 18:35He says. I submit you don't need to storm
- 18:37the castle or take up arms. You need to convert your savings
- 18:41into silver. Physical only, not for financial
- 18:48reasons, but because silver is the Achilles of the Cabal.
- 18:52When silver runs out, the chains that bind us break in the chaos
- 18:56begins. Godspeed.
- 18:58So there you go. From the Silver billionaire
- 19:01himself. Quite a powerful statement.
- 19:03I don't know if you agree with that or don't agree with that,
- 19:05but we do know one thing for sure, as we talked about earlier
- 19:13during this live stream, right? Everyone is scrambling for
- 19:17precious metals, absolutely, no doubt about it.
- 19:20And we're getting more and more sorry, my phone is blowing up.
- 19:24Hold on one second. Hold on, guys.
- 19:28I'll be right back. OK, All right.
- 19:32I don't know why, but it keeps making noises on me.
- 19:35I apologize, but we get good news, right?
- 19:39A big reason. A big.
- 19:40A big a big example, a big fact of why that's the case is
- 19:44because the world central banks have been buying a lot of gold
- 19:47and we get new news about what we can expect throughout 2026.
- 19:53Let's go right here to the headline from Investing Live.
- 19:58Central banks seen sustaining gold demand amid geopolitics and
- 20:04de dollarization. And we'll just talk about the
- 20:06highlights, which tell us. Central banks are expected to
- 20:11remain active gold buyers in 2026.
- 20:14New and previously inactive buyers are entering the market.
- 20:19Recent purchases from Indonesia, Malaysia and Guatemala.
- 20:24The demand is tied to geopolitical risk, right?
- 20:27People don't trust each other, including countries and the
- 20:31dollarization trends. Gold prices sharply lower from
- 20:34recent highs. Elevated prices may slow the the
- 20:38pace of purchases or the bargain basement prices that it feels
- 20:42like we're getting right now could increase them in industry
- 20:45forecast should be viewed in context of vested interest.
- 20:49Central bank's demand for gold is expected to remain a key
- 20:53support for the market throughout 2026, underpinned by
- 20:57geopolitical and the continued move away from the US dollar and
- 21:03our good friend silver trade. You want to hear about something
- 21:06here? Want to hear about something
- 21:07good? On a day when silver and gold
- 21:11are getting clobbered, our friend Silver Trade has raised
- 21:14his estimate of the silver price to $250 per oz.
- 21:20That sounds like music to our ears right now.
- 21:23Let's go take a look at what he says.
- 21:25Why? I've raised my target to $250.
- 21:28As US stagflation transitions from a modest annoyance to a
- 21:34deadly tidal wave, the erroneous mindset of the Western investor
- 21:38crowd will be corrected. And what I dubbed the panic
- 21:42reset of intelligence and what he's talking about #1 is
- 21:47stagflation. Yes, the economy is stagnant by
- 21:50most measures. OK, some people are calling for
- 21:54a major recession. More and more Wall Street
- 21:57analysts are telling us that we are going to have a recession.
- 22:01I've got a article we're going to look at tomorrow on that
- 22:04recession with inflation. Look the cats out of the bag
- 22:08with what happened in the Middle East.
- 22:09The ship has sailed, OK? Oil prices skyrocketed.
- 22:14This is not going to get fixed overnight.
- 22:17And best case scenario, maybe by the end of the year we get at
- 22:20oil prices maybe back in that 6065 range.
- 22:25We have a recessionary, very high recessionary outlook coming
- 22:32in 2026 and we definitely are going to have elevated
- 22:37inflation. That is stagflation.
- 22:40That's what he's talking about when it comes to everybody else.
- 22:43And that's what he referred to, this collective awakening or
- 22:46collective intelligence waking up, right.
- 22:49Those are the other 98% of the people in the United States, the
- 22:55people that don't get what's going on, the people that have
- 22:58no clue what real money is that have even invested like you have
- 23:02into learning right about what's really going on, right?
- 23:06And when they, they're not going to wake up by doing research,
- 23:10you know how they're going to wake up.
- 23:12They're going to wake up when they start hearing about all
- 23:14their friends getting laid off. They're going to wake up when
- 23:16they go to the grocery store, right?
- 23:19And groceries suddenly cost 2025 thirty, 40% more than they're
- 23:24going to wake up. All right, The other inflation
- 23:27that we had what, back in 2022, post C-19, I mean that that like
- 23:32shocked people, right? And I said this all along that
- 23:36when the next wave of inflation hits similar to what it did in
- 23:39the 70s, that's when we're going to have a big number of people,
- 23:43people that we like to affectionately refer to as the
- 23:46sheeple, right? When they wake up, they're going
- 23:52to, they're going to say, what am I going to do, right?
- 23:55My dollars are becoming worthless, not worthless, worth
- 24:00less. And then they're going to say,
- 24:02you know, I've been hearing a lot about silver.
- 24:05I've been hearing a lot about gold, right?
- 24:07That's why silver trade is talking in my opinion.
- 24:10I'm not putting words in his mouth, but I think his post is
- 24:13very accurate. That's why people are going to
- 24:16wake up. And at that point, there could
- 24:18be a mad rush for physical gold and silver.
- 24:21And don't forget, guys, there's not a lot out there.
- 24:24The retail silver market is very, very.
- 24:28Are you sensitive? Well, the retail silver market
- 24:31is as sensitive as they get, right?
- 24:34Like a 12 year old boy or girl. I'll leave that one alone
- 24:38anyway, right? Super sensitive, right?
- 24:42It takes very little. Remember, remember, right?
- 24:45Since I've been down here making, making videos and
- 24:48connecting with you in the basement, we've had two times
- 24:50where there was big shortages, right?
- 24:53Waiting 5678 weeks to get physical metal.
- 24:57And that's nothing I don't, I think compared to what we're
- 25:00going to see sometime in the next four or five years, maybe
- 25:04the next four or five months, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
- 25:08But the, but I do know one thing for sure, the retail silver
- 25:12market is so sensitive. There's not a lot out there.
- 25:15Yeah, sure, you can go to your local coin shop today and know
- 25:18that their shelves will be full. But it just takes a little
- 25:21shift, right, a little movement, maybe another one or 2% to start
- 25:27of the US population. They might be able to get some
- 25:30silver and gold as well. But when 5%, six percent, 8% of
- 25:36people decide they want to protect themselves with silver
- 25:39and gold, it's going to be wiped out.
- 25:41OK. There's not going to be any to
- 25:43go around. All right, let's talk about
- 25:45China. They're up to it again.
- 25:47OK China is vacuuming in the world.
- 25:50Silver. Uh oh.
- 25:52What is this? What?
- 25:55Hold on. Which one do I hit?
- 25:56No, OK, something just popped up on up.
- 26:00You didn't see it. Now I've got the right screen
- 26:03shared something Chinese just popped up on my channel.
- 26:07Over 790 tons, China's silver imports touch eight-year highs
- 26:14in early 2026. Yes, that's January and
- 26:19February. China imported 790 tons in the
- 26:24first two months of the year. But wait, there's more because
- 26:28International Stacker, great channel, I think they call
- 26:31themselves the crustacean nation says China is quietly vacuum,
- 26:36vacuuming up the world's silver like an auric.
- 26:39And inventories are collaborating.
- 26:41New analysis from Silver seek shows reportedly Shanghai silver
- 26:46inventories have plunged back to levels not seen since 2015.
- 26:50We looked at that earlier, right?
- 26:52Is there a clearance sale? Is there a going out of business
- 26:54sale? Right, If the Shanghai gold
- 26:56Exchange in the Shanghai futures exchange, what about the LBMA in
- 27:00the COMEX? China flipped to a net importer
- 27:04in February, 450 tons. Retail investors are piling into
- 27:08silver bars as a cheaper alternative to gold.
- 27:12Solar manufacturers in China are stockpiling ahead of policy
- 27:16changing changing. This is happening while the
- 27:18Comex vaults continue to bleed and have a inventory reduction
- 27:23sale and global silver remains in its sixth straight year of
- 27:29structural deficit. Paper can be get manipulated.
- 27:32Physical silver is disappearing fast, especially in China.
- 27:37OK, thank you. And he says to the Crustacean
- 27:39Nation, Silver's channel, Silver's China's.
- 27:44Easy for me to say. China's silver appetite, next
- 27:47big catalyst. Silver breaking out sooner than
- 27:50expected. You buying more?
- 27:52He's asking his community that question.
- 27:54OK. And you know, while we're at it,
- 27:57let's just go out to our friend the Oriental Ghost and get an
- 28:00update on today's physical silver price in China, just to
- 28:05demonstrate. Make sure we're up.
- 28:07Yep, we're up on the right screen.
- 28:10OK? For those of you who are new,
- 28:12this is the Shanghai Gold Exchange and the Shanghai
- 28:16Futures Exchange. This is the Shanghai Gold
- 28:20Exchange, and this is silver. And this shows us that in China,
- 28:25silver closed at $78 per oz. That's their physical market,
- 28:32that's their spot market, the Shanghai Gold Exchange, where
- 28:35you actually are required to have the physical metal to
- 28:39execute trades, which is very interesting, $78 in China.
- 28:44Let's go to hold on here, let's go to our spot market, which is
- 28:51$68, a full $10 discount inventory reduction sale right
- 28:57now at the LBMA in the spot market.
- 29:01Unbelievable. Wonder what our futures price
- 29:03is. Here we go $68 per oz Crazy.
- 29:08Hey, while we're out here, let's go look at this because it is
- 29:13getting precariously high. This is the 20 year U.S.
- 29:17Treasury yield. And guys, this is a big, big
- 29:21problem. 5% is kind of the line in the sand.
- 29:25People are talking about the fact that the basically the
- 29:29government runs into big, big problems right around this 5%
- 29:34twenty year Treasury yield number.
- 29:36We're talking about mortgage rates going to 7%.
- 29:39We're talking about lending costs going up.
- 29:41What that indicates is that people do not want to buy longer
- 29:45term debt of the United States. And can you blame them, right?
- 29:49I mean, do you want to loan money to the United States for
- 29:5320 years for 5% interest? When you know, when you can look
- 29:57at the US debt clock and see what's happening there, it's
- 30:00going to be interesting, right? We will navigate these choppy
- 30:04waters together a lot. What we are experiencing right
- 30:08now in my opinion in the precious metals market is a lot
- 30:13of short term noise. OK, look out a year from now,
- 30:18look out two years from now. Look at the fundamental factors
- 30:23that are supporting the prices that we have right now.
- 30:26Silver consolidating right in the mid 60s to mid 70s range.
- 30:31Gold consolidating above $4000 per oz.
- 30:35And when you take into account the big primary fundamental
- 30:39factors, basic, quite simply, the devaluation, the loss in
- 30:45real value in the US dollar, the the outlook for the precious
- 30:50metals looks better than ever. Hey, thank you for joining me
- 30:53down here in the basement. We really appreciate you
- 30:56upstairs. Susie's a little under the
- 30:57weather, so give her a little give her a little love in the
- 31:01comments section. Oh, wait a minute.
- 31:03Hold on here. Oh, Jimmy Blue, thank you for
- 31:07the Super chat. And National Rod and Susie Day.
- 31:12Oh, boy. Yeah, that that.
- 31:14I'll tell you what. Here, let's pull them up.
- 31:16You are famous on the Internet, my friend.
- 31:19If that's the case, we're in real trouble.
- 31:22But we do appreciate the Super chat.
- 31:24We appreciate all of you joining us down here in the basement.
- 31:27Please subscribe to the channel, leave a comment in the comment
- 31:30section and we will navigate these choppy waters of the
- 31:34precious metals and we will do it together.
- 31:39Think about where we're going to be two years from now.
- 31:41Because two years ago when we were down here together, those
- 31:45of you who were down here, part of the basement dweller
- 31:48community, we had no idea two years ago where we would be
- 31:53today. If we had told our two years ago
- 31:56selves that take your current age and subtract 2 years, right?
- 32:00That we would have $6867 silver, that we would have gold right
- 32:06above $4000, right? And I believe there to stay, we
- 32:10would be jumping for joy. Consolidations are normal in any
- 32:16market. Nothing goes up in a straight
- 32:19line unfortunately, OK, except for the US national debt.
- 32:25But any asset like gold and silver.
- 32:27And again, you know, that's if we, if we choose to measure
- 32:32ounces of gold and oz of silver, if we choose to use the US
- 32:36dollar as the unit of measure, the really smart people.
- 32:39And I don't include myself in that because I have a hard time
- 32:43remembering this value. Their precious metals in ounces,
- 32:48OK, not based on EUR or dollars or yen or anything else.
- 32:53Remember, gold and silver had been the reserve currency of the
- 32:58world, right? The only form of real money.
- 33:01People get mad when you use that word currency, but you get my
- 33:03point. Gold and silver had been there
- 33:06through the entirety of history. OK, guess what, We got something
- 33:10in common. You may not realize that, but
- 33:13it's very likely that you and I have a common relative who was
- 33:17alive 4000 years ago. OK, our great, great, great to
- 33:21the 99.9 whatever degree, grandpa, right, a common
- 33:27relative 3000 years ago and that person when they held an ounce
- 33:33of silver or an ounce of gold in their hand, it was basically as
- 33:37valuable as it is today. It is timeless.
- 33:41There's a lot of short term noise.
- 33:42Buckle up, right? There may be more short term
- 33:45noise, but I believe that silver and gold are a wise way to
- 33:49protect our wells now and in the future.
- 33:52I will look forward to seeing you next time.
- 33:54Thanks for joining me down here in the basement.
- 33:56Take care, all right? You're important.
- 33:58Be good to yourself and I'll see you soon.
- 34:01Bye. Bye.
