The latest Live from the Vault episode delves into the tightening gold and silver markets, highlighting the growing physical shortages and structural imbalances driving price movements.
The gold market is under intense pressure, with soaring demand from the East and rapidly depleting Western reserves. Throughout 2024, significant amounts of gold have left Western vaults, triggering liquidity shortages and refinery delays of up to 12 weeks. Despite official reports, much of the gold held in London is already allocated, leaving the US scrambling to secure bullion for fractionally backed reserves.
Silver on the brink of a short squeeze In silver, market inefficiencies are becoming increasingly pronounced. Despite record-tight supply conditions, COMEX spreads have reached unprecedented levels, reflecting extreme paper-to-physical dislocations. Strategic hoarding is accelerating, as liquidity providers anticipate a minimum silver price of $38 in the short term, with potential for a breakout towards $50–$90 per ounce.
