- 0:01Historic moves in the silver price and the gold price.
- 0:05We are witnessing history in the making.
- 0:08You might be wondering, will it continue?
- 0:10In this video, we're going to look at all the reasons why Many
- 0:15examples why things are changing right now in the world of
- 0:19silver. We even have one of the world's
- 0:20biggest banks uttering the words $309 silver in 2026 that that's
- 0:28a real possibility. We'll dig into that.
- 0:31We're going to hear from China and what's happening there,
- 0:34which is really setting the tone for what we are experiencing
- 0:38right now. I'll explain it all to you.
- 0:40Thank you for being here. By the way, we did reach 70,000
- 0:43subscribers on the Ron's basement channel.
- 0:46I really appreciate you. Thank you, thank you.
- 0:48And if you haven't subscribed already, please do leave a
- 0:52comment, give it a thumbs up and turn on the bell notification.
- 0:56I woke up this morning and of course, right.
- 0:58I think about my family. I think about a lot of things,
- 1:01and I often think about silver in this I found very
- 1:05astonishing. Let's start with what's
- 1:07happening in China and why it's so important.
- 1:10And then later we are going to hear from an actual Chinese
- 1:14distributor of silver and gold and hear what he has to say.
- 1:19Make sure we got you on the right screen here, which we do,
- 1:23OK? I was shocked this morning when
- 1:25I saw the report from Oriental Ghost, but there's something
- 1:28even more interesting in this report besides this $87.00 spot
- 1:35silver in China. OK, that's the Shanghai Gold
- 1:39Exchange. That's their spot market now.
- 1:43Also, this is not the not the real interesting thing, but of
- 1:46note, the SHFE, the Shanghai Futures Exchange has a lower
- 1:52price, so the futures market is lower.
- 1:54That means the China is officially in a state of
- 1:57backwardation. Again, that's a very good sign
- 2:01for the silver price because that means people are worried
- 2:05about getting silver in the future and they'll pay a premium
- 2:09for it right now, which is the opposite of the normal situation
- 2:13on any between a futures market and a spot market, which is
- 2:16called container and go. So we are backward dated in
- 2:20China, but that's not what people are finding interesting
- 2:24and I think you'll find interesting.
- 2:26But down here is what's interesting.
- 2:28The change in the vault, OK, at the Shanghai Futures Exchange
- 2:34down 88,000 kilograms. OK, look that that's almost,
- 2:40what, 15, 20% of the total amount.
- 2:45The Shanghai Gold Exchange down 44,000 kilograms, not quite as
- 2:50high of a percentage, but probably 6 or 7%.
- 2:54The world is running out of silver.
- 2:57Oh, and by the way, I have something very interesting to
- 3:00say to you. Congratulations, if you own
- 3:02silver or gold for that matter, because it's almost
- 3:06statistically impossible that you aren't in the green, that
- 3:10you aren't in the profit, right? And that's a great thing for you
- 3:13and I, US basement dwellers that have owned silver, gold for a
- 3:17long time. But what's really, really
- 3:20important for us to remember, the powerful thing behind that
- 3:23is because guys, now that nobody out there is losing money on
- 3:29their silver investment or very, very few people, that means
- 3:33there's very little overhead resistance.
- 3:36What that means is there's nobody out there, right?
- 3:39Not you, not me, not anybody who's thinking, oh, I bought
- 3:43silver when it was $95 an ounce, and when it gets back to $95,
- 3:47I'm going to sell, I'm going to get my Fiat back, I'm going to
- 3:50get my paper money back. There's nobody out there
- 3:53thinking that that creates a situation where there's very
- 3:57little overhead resistance, which is also why whether you're
- 4:02talking about stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate,
- 4:04whatever, that whenever anything gets to new all time high
- 4:08territories, it typically keeps creating more and more all time
- 4:12highs. Now look, don't make any
- 4:14financial decisions based on anything I'm saying.
- 4:16I'm not a financial advisor any of that good stuff.
- 4:19But that's my truth. I see that we still have a great
- 4:23runway ahead for the price of silver and for the price of
- 4:26gold. And that's just one of the
- 4:28reasons. Let's go check they're throwing
- 4:30everything. Let's talk about the paper
- 4:32markets, the futures market they're throwing.
- 4:35They're giving it all they got right.
- 4:37They're giving old Bessie full throttle trying to knock down
- 4:40the price. Look at the recent data that I
- 4:43mean the numbers that are coming through are astounding.
- 4:46This comes from our friend the dude, OK, who shares with with
- 4:50with us that yesterday the quote UN quote silver market.
- 4:54Come on, dude. Well, I know you put it in
- 4:56there. I'm sorry, traded 760 million
- 4:59paper oz yesterday, almost as much as the entire mining
- 5:05sector, mines in one whole year. I know I say it all the time,
- 5:10but guys, that's what they're they are throwing everything
- 5:13they have at this paper price, trying to get it down.
- 5:17And we are in a new paradigm. We are in a new era for precious
- 5:23metals and it gets even better. We're going to talk about China,
- 5:26we're going to talk about India. But let's go straight to China
- 5:29and hear from a silver distributor what he's observing
- 5:33in the Chinese silver market. This is super interesting.
- 5:37I'll keep my mouth shut. It's about one minute long, I
- 5:40believe. This was shared by yeah, King
- 5:43Kong 9888. I want to say thank you to him
- 5:47for providing these video updates from China.
- 5:50Super respected and super reliable a person within the
- 5:55gold and silver community. King Kong 9888 And let me get
- 6:01this on full screen for your viewing pleasure.
- 6:04And let's spend 80 seconds in China and hear what's going on
- 6:08with silver in China. And then we're going to talk a
- 6:10little bit about some been really cool from India.
- 6:15Recently, a very strange phenomenon has occurred.
- 6:16It's never happened before. What is it?
- 6:18A few days ago, Chicago raised precious metal margins.
- 6:20Silver prices pulled back sharply.
- 6:22Many were happy, thinking they could easily buy the dip.
- 6:24But when you ask about physical silver, each one has a premium
- 6:27of 1-2 or three dollars. Official prices have dropped,
- 6:31yet physical prices have risen. What unspeakable secret truly
- 6:34lies behind all of this? Today, I'll tell you.
- 6:36When spot prices are high, many people's first reaction is that
- 6:38sales are playing tricks. But the truth is far from as
- 6:40simple as you might imagine. This entire process is just like
- 6:43pushing dominoes, one thing leading directly to the next.
- 6:45The first domino to fall was the silver mining factories.
- 6:47They suddenly discovered that their production capacity was
- 6:49already fully booked three months or even half a year in
- 6:52advance. The second card, those
- 6:54refineries and large wholesalers suddenly found they couldn't get
- 6:56any goods. Then came the third card, Silver
- 6:58bar sellers. When we sell, we need to restock
- 7:01our inventory. But they found raw material
- 7:03costs suddenly skyrocketed. So what now?
- 7:05There's no other option. We have to reprice all the
- 7:08inventory in the store. Ultimately, this pressure is
- 7:10then passed on to us ordinary buyers, resulting in spot
- 7:13premiums that are frighteningly high.
- 7:14This, in fact, is the market sending a clear signal.
- 7:17When the premium on physical silver begins to decouple from
- 7:19international spot prices, it indicates a problem at the very
- 7:22source of the supply chain, meaning they can no longer
- 7:24obtain the metal at its original official price.
- 7:26The international silver price we see today is essentially what
- 7:29we call paper silver. It represents a mere paper
- 7:31contract, a simple promise. OK.
- 7:37Do you think maybe we're in a new world for the price of
- 7:41silver? Look, we talked about this and
- 7:42that was I want to back up to something super important we
- 7:46talked about this week and a half ago right here in the
- 7:49basement. At the time, the price of silver
- 7:52on the Shanghai Gold Exchange in China was very close to what it
- 7:56was in the United States, even in the spot in futures market.
- 8:00And what we talked about was the fact that now that was actually
- 8:03a good thing. There used to be and now we're
- 8:05experiencing it again. But back then we said there used
- 8:07to be a big premium ten, 1520%, not 20, but 1015% higher price
- 8:14in China than in the West and that the Chinese price had
- 8:18sucked, right? The Western paper price closer
- 8:22to the real price. And that's exactly what he's
- 8:26talking about right now. He's like, hey, that's great
- 8:29that the Comex and the LBMA want to say silver, $70.00 an ounce.
- 8:34But the reality is that if you want to get physical silver,
- 8:37it's going to cost you 80. Or is that right Earlier, $87.00
- 8:42in China? Guys, it's a different world.
- 8:45The physical market is taking over.
- 8:48Let's run out and take a quick look at what's going on.
- 8:51I apologize. We got so much happening.
- 8:53I forgot to do this at the beginning.
- 8:55Let's go out and get a look at the futures price.
- 8:59Oh my gosh, $80.84 make sure I'm Yep, we got you up there.
- 9:06Yep, $80.84, this is the March contract.
- 9:10This should be higher than the spot price, which is no higher.
- 9:17Wow, $81.26. Did I share that?
- 9:22Yes, I did. This is the world spot price.
- 9:24So we are officially slightly backwardated again that, that,
- 9:30that that signals very good things for the strength of the
- 9:33spot physical market for silver. So it's getting interesting.
- 9:38Oh, I promised you some information about India.
- 9:41We're going to do that next. Before though, I want to say
- 9:44thank you to 1st Mint, First Mint for sponsoring Ron's
- 9:49basement, making these live streams possible.
- 9:51There is Silver Mint where you can buy world class silver
- 9:56products. They produce all original
- 9:58pieces. They're in Las Vegas, NV, they
- 10:01are right here. But what's interesting is that
- 10:03they're owned by First Majestic Silver, who mines the silver in
- 10:07Mexico, sends it to 1st Mint, and then it goes directly to
- 10:10you. What I'm hearing from you in the
- 10:12community is that you are just totally pleased with your
- 10:17experience with First Mint. I, I call it a premium retail
- 10:21experience. Their prices are great, their
- 10:24services great. Their products are all original,
- 10:27all beautiful. Here's a 10 oz folded American
- 10:31Flag bar. Just one example and, and part
- 10:34of the proceeds from the sales of this go to support the Folds
- 10:37of Honor Foundation. So if you're looking to get some
- 10:40silver while there's, well, first mints in a unique, unique
- 10:44position, right, 'cause they actually mine the silver, by the
- 10:47way, it never gets touched by the Comex or LBMA.
- 10:50Check out First Mint. You can see it right there,
- 10:53right behind me. And, and, and tell them you're
- 10:56from Ron's basement. OK, OK, India, we're talking,
- 10:59everybody's talking about China, China, China, China, China.
- 11:03What about India, right? Don't forget guys, India is
- 11:07importing massive amounts of silver.
- 11:11India has 1.4 billion, maybe now 1.5 billion people.
- 11:16India, OK, also has a massively expanding GDP and economy.
- 11:24We're talking about hundreds of millions of people entering the
- 11:27consumer class. But why does that matter?
- 11:30It matters because Indian people love gold and love silver.
- 11:37So when we talk about all this China, China, China, China
- 11:40stuff, that's great and it's massively important.
- 11:43But let's not forget about our friends in India who we've not
- 11:46been talking about as much lately.
- 11:48They're also a massive demand source as we move forward for
- 11:52silver 300, three, $109 silver. You want to know who's saying
- 11:57that? Oh, not some kook in his
- 12:00basement in Saint Louis. No, not some.
- 12:04Not some random analyst out there.
- 12:07How about Bank of America? We're going to dig into this a
- 12:10lot more in future live streams, but this is somewhat hot off the
- 12:15presses and we need to pay attention to what they are
- 12:19saying. This came from Kitco.
- 12:22OK Gold, Silver HQ $309 silver. Bank of America thinks it's
- 12:27possible. Here's the headline, and again,
- 12:29I'll give you more information on this and some future streams.
- 12:32But gold will be the primary hedge and performance driver in
- 12:372026. Silver could top out between Wow
- 12:43$135 and 309 dollars. That's from Bank of America's
- 12:49Mr. Widmer, Can you believe that Bank of America is is actually
- 12:56saying that, that we could see a situation where we have silver
- 13:01at $309? Now I'm going to show you
- 13:03something. Now I'm going to show you
- 13:05something next. A whole different way to look at
- 13:08the relationship between silver and gold.
- 13:10We're all used to the gold to silver ratio.
- 13:14How many ounces of silver does it take for you to buy one ounce
- 13:17of gold, right, which is around 60 right now, 5860, something
- 13:20like that. But there's another way to look
- 13:22at it and another chart which I think clearly shows that we've
- 13:27got a big runway ahead of us potentially in this relationship
- 13:31between silver and gold. And we love gold.
- 13:34Gold's the grand happy of the precious metals.
- 13:37It's like our precious metals grandpa, right?
- 13:39A lot of a lot of you are both gold and silver people.
- 13:42I'm AI love gold, I love silver. I love the precious metal mining
- 13:45stocks. Speaking of precious metal
- 13:46mining stocks, they haven't quite been keeping up with these
- 13:50massive increases in the silver and the gold price.
- 13:54It's going to have to happen one way or the other.
- 13:57Either the gold and silver price come down, which we don't think
- 14:00that's likely or or the price of the precious metal mining stocks
- 14:06goes up. We'll see what happens.
- 14:08I do want to say thank you. Speaking of precious metal
- 14:10mining stocks to 1st Mining Gold, that's a stock I've owned
- 14:14long before they sponsored my channel.
- 14:17There are development stage gold Company in Canada.
- 14:20They have two huge multi million ounce projects in Canada, OK
- 14:25safe jurisdiction Spring Pole in Ontario and Duke Parquet located
- 14:30in Quebec, both of which have millions of Oz of gold in the
- 14:34ground and they're working through the catalyst rich
- 14:37development process with both of those projects.
- 14:40You can learn more about them at firstmininggold.com.
- 14:44Now, Speaking of gold, this relationship between silver and
- 14:47gold that I promised you, this comes from somebody who is right
- 14:52up, up, up. Wrong 1 Hold on here, wrong one.
- 14:55We'll come back to that. We'll come back to that.
- 14:58Don't look at that. Here we go.
- 14:59Now it's on your screen. Who is definitely in that
- 15:04handful of super respected analyst in the gold and silver
- 15:07community, Jesse Colombo from the Bubble Bubble report.
- 15:10He puts out a sub stack that's like breaking all world records.
- 15:14He says. Are you worried that silver is
- 15:17too high and about to crash? Said this few days ago.
- 15:21Well, it's dirt cheap. Price versus gold says the exact
- 15:26opposite, indicating that silver's bull market still has
- 15:30many, many strong years ahead. That's music to our ears, Jesse,
- 15:35thank you. Check out this full list.
- 15:37He's got a full list, but here's just one that he's showing.
- 15:40This chart, guys, is the silver to gold ratio.
- 15:45So you divide the gold price. I'm sorry, you divide the silver
- 15:50price by the gold price. And when you look at this,
- 15:53right, look how low we are. I'd never really looked at it
- 15:57this way myself. Here we are right now.
- 16:00OK, there we are right now. I'll uncircle that, but just so
- 16:03you can see there, I'll draw an arrow.
- 16:06Hold on. Right there is where we are.
- 16:09But if you look back, and this goes back to as far as 1960s,
- 16:13right, 1980, even 2011, OK, when you look at those periods where
- 16:20we are right now and draw a line, a crooked line, but still
- 16:24a line nonetheless, you can see that there's been many times in
- 16:28the last 50 years that we were way, way higher where the silver
- 16:34price relative to the gold price from a percentage perspective
- 16:37went way, way higher. So when you hear these people
- 16:40saying, oh, silver's in a bubble, you know, you better.
- 16:43You silver people are crazy. Well, but we know there's a
- 16:47different side to that story. And let's look at another visual
- 16:51way to look at silver that is mind blowing.
- 16:54OK, Wow. Don't forget silver.
- 16:59OK, Silver is a monetary metal and, and great for that.
- 17:05It's been, it's been money longer than gold, as far as I
- 17:08know. Correct me on that, but I'm 99%
- 17:11sure I'm right. It's an investment metal.
- 17:13It's a beautiful metal, but it's also used so much weight.
- 17:18Let's look at this, let's look at this chart cuz this will, and
- 17:21then we'll talk about what it means and what I think the real
- 17:24kicker is in all of this. Here we go.
- 17:27This is from mining Visuals. OK, I know it's a little small,
- 17:31but bear with me here. I'll get the crayons out and I'm
- 17:34explaining to you why we can be so excited, OK?
- 17:36These blue areas show the the the sources of demand goes all
- 17:42the way back to 2016 all the way through today.
- 17:47When you're hanging out down here in the basement with me.
- 17:50This first bottom section you can see I have underlined there.
- 17:53That is photovotallics, that is solar panels.
- 17:56You can see that section, you know, kind of ate up that much.
- 18:00The next one is electrical and electronics.
- 18:03I'll underline that. The other is other industrial.
- 18:07This section up here is jewelry. This section up here is coin and
- 18:11bar demand. OK, As you can see, these blue
- 18:14shaded sections over all those years represent demand for
- 18:20silver. Now here's 2 kickers.
- 18:23OK. This white line right here, this
- 18:28white line, it starts right there and goes like this.
- 18:32I'm going to draw over it. That's the the mine mining
- 18:36production over that period of time.
- 18:39As you can see, it's actually trended downward a little bit.
- 18:43This upper white line is when you add in total supply, which
- 18:49would include recycling, it's very difficult and very
- 18:52expensive to recycle silver. OK, Now do you notice something?
- 18:58Number one, I think the amount of silver coming out of the
- 19:01mines has been trending downwards, but we've got this
- 19:04massive deficit, which everybody knows about.
- 19:07Now here's what I want you to think about that I know is so
- 19:10critical. Let's go down here and think
- 19:13about these sources of demand. Do you think demand for silver
- 19:15from photovotalics will go up? Yes, electrical and electronics,
- 19:20right, All these data centers that are being built, all the
- 19:22chips that are needed, yes, OK, let's talk about some of the the
- 19:26sleepers. I've talked about this many
- 19:28times. Jewelry, I think demand for
- 19:31silver jewelry will also be going up.
- 19:33Check, check, check, check. Silver jewelry, I happen to
- 19:37think I know it's not worth as much as gold jewelry, not yet,
- 19:42but I think it's just as beautiful.
- 19:43I, I don't get mad at me if you're a gold person, but I
- 19:46think silver, I think we're going to see a massive, and I
- 19:49said this six weeks ago spike in demand for silver from jewelry
- 19:54as well. OK and we've got coin and bar
- 19:57demand back in all these areas. This is my point when I went to
- 20:01this, I'm reading through this list, this demand list, and I'm
- 20:04like every single one of them has potential and I think I.
- 20:08Would predict are going to go up in the coming year to two years.
- 20:13It's absolutely incredible and then you know what's not even on
- 20:16this list? Here we go.
- 20:18You know what's not even on that list of of demand sources for
- 20:23silver. All the while the supply is
- 20:24going to remain stagnant. It might go up a little bit, but
- 20:28guys, we won't go down that path.
- 20:30But you know, there's not a knob at the silver mine that can be
- 20:34turned to make more silver. It takes a decade, A decade, 5
- 20:39years, a decade for a silver company to actually realize an
- 20:42increase in silver production. They can maybe dial it up a tiny
- 20:47bit, but the reality is the pipeline for new silver projects
- 20:51is super, super low. But wait, there's more.
- 20:54OK. Because what's not on that chart
- 20:56that I just showed you is what I think is going to be be the
- 20:59biggest sleeper surprise, OK, source of demand for silver in
- 21:06the next 5 to 10 years. And that will be tokenized
- 21:10silver when they put silver, you don't have to like crypto.
- 21:13You don't have to buy it. I'm not saying anything but but
- 21:16but as that happens, as they tokenize silver, that is backed
- 21:22one for one with real silver in real vaults, OK, And they're
- 21:27doing it with gold. Don't forget Tether, the world's
- 21:30biggest crypto company, is also the world's biggest buyer of
- 21:34physical gold outside of central banks.
- 21:38They were the number one buyer of physical gold because they've
- 21:42tokenized gold and they store it on a big boat in Switzerland.
- 21:46The same thing can happen with silver.
- 21:49OK, nobody's talking about it. I think the two sleepers are
- 21:53jewelry and tokenization as we go out five years they don't
- 21:58even. But the good news is they don't
- 21:59even need to happen because because we're already in a
- 22:03deficit. Oh, brother, I tell you what,
- 22:08this the the future so bright we got to wear shades.
- 22:11OK, what about let's talk about demand around the world for gold
- 22:15and silver? I'm going to share with you some
- 22:17news from Australia that you can only see here in Ron's basement.
- 22:22It came from one of our viewers. He took some pictures from
- 22:25Australia and I'm not going to share his real name because I
- 22:30didn't ask his permission, but I did take out the text from his.
- 22:35This was an e-mail I got and he said hi Ron, I love your show.
- 22:39This is we're going to call him. What was I going to call him?
- 22:41Mr. Hold on a second, Mr. B OK, I love your show.
- 22:46Basement Dwellers Stacker in Sydney, Australia.
- 22:49Our bullion shops are taking forever to deliver.
- 22:52I'm waiting on 4 separate orders.
- 22:54I dragged my family to ABC Bullion today for a 2.5 hour
- 22:59wait. They were not impressed.
- 23:01And here's a couple pictures. Look at these people, right?
- 23:04At least they're in the shade, sitting down, right?
- 23:07Waiting in line to buy precious metals.
- 23:10And here's another picture as well.
- 23:12Look at that. Wow.
- 23:14And there's the ABC Bullion right up there.
- 23:17All right, guys, thanks for joining me down here in the
- 23:19basement. Don't forget, subscribe to the
- 23:21channel. We are in for a walk.
- 23:25OK, there's upstairs Susie. Everybody say hi to upstairs.
- 23:28Susie, I'm going to ring the gong.
- 23:30Hey, Susie, how many thumbs up do we have over?
- 23:32Give me 10 more for 300. All right, guys, let's get 10
- 23:38more thumbs up and I'm going to ring the gong.
- 23:40I know we got it. This is the golden gong that
- 23:43brings us good luck. A little tradition that we have
- 23:46down here in the basement. We got it.
- 23:52Listen to it resonate. I know, I know.
- 23:58I did not make the sheep noise today.
- 24:01Maybe tomorrow. You never know, right?
- 24:03Most important, right? It's big deal when you join me
- 24:06down here in the basement. All serious.
- 24:09Thank you. Thanks for your time.
- 24:10Thanks for your support. It means the world we're in for
- 24:14a wild ride. Remember, please be prepared for
- 24:17anything, all right? Whenever you're investing, be
- 24:20responsible. As a friend, I'd like to tell
- 24:22you that don't expose yourself off to too much risk, too much
- 24:26leverage, anything like that. Like we are going to have some
- 24:29volatility no doubt in the future in the precious metals
- 24:33markets. We've experienced a really
- 24:35great, great period of time. I think the great times do
- 24:39continue. But again, there's going to
- 24:41nothing goes straight up in a straight line.
- 24:43So anyhow, take care. All right, be good and I'll see
- 24:47you, yes, you the one and only next time.
