The Banks Are Running Scared As Silver Surges | Andy Schectman
Liberty and Finance: 7-16-2025
Dunagun Kaiser and Andy Schectman discuss the current state of the silver market, highlighting unprecedented stress and a potential disconnect between paper futures and physical prices.
Schectman points to record-low silver inventories at the LBMA, soaring lease rates, and commercial banks holding the largest short position in COMEX history as evidence of a tightening physical market.
They also touch upon the broader economic landscape, including the dollar's decline despite high interest rates, and the strategic accumulation of physical precious metals by sophisticated investors and BRICS nations, which is seen as a long-term play to potentially de-dollarize the global financial system.
