Silver is disappearing from the COMEX at a pace never seen before, with roughly 90 million ounces leaving in just the past four weeks, while the U.S. government continues running deficits near $2 trillion annually, proving once again that tariffs and political promises won’t solve a structural debt crisis. Industrial silver supplies are tightening, ETF inventories are shrinking, and physical metal is steadily moving East. This is not normal market behavior, yet most investors remain distracted and underexposed. Watch the full update to understand why silver’s vanishing act and America’s exploding deficit could be setting the stage for what comes next. 

Gold and silver began last week trading relatively smoothly before a sudden flash crash last Thursday jolted the markets. The sharp selloff followed a widely circulated — and quickly disputed — headline suggesting Russia might return to the U.S. dollar system, triggering rapid algorithmic liquidation. Even so, gold managed to hold near $5,042 while silver closed around $77.37, underscoring notable resilience beneath the volatility. Meanwhile, tightening global silver inventories and shifting capital flows continue to hint at bigger structural forces developing behind the scenes. Watch this week’s video with an open mind — beyond the flash crash headlines and the political theater of ongoing congressional hearings, the real story unfolding in gold and silver may be far more significant than most investors realize.

Gold and silver just lived through another roller-coaster week, with sharp price swings masking what’s really happening underneath the surface. Physical supply continues to tighten globally, while speculative excess gets shaken out in dramatic fashion. Big-picture signals—from exchange inventories to global capital flows—suggest this bullion bull market is far from finished. Watch the full video to see the data, charts, and context that explain why these moves matter and what could come next.

New and even older silver bullion buyers should consider multiple factors deciding what forms of silver bullion to buy.

Here we drill into Silver Coins vs. Silver Bars. What are some of the factors people buy one over the other?

Multivariate and wide-ranging. Reasoning can be simple as the lowest premiums over spot versus subjective decisions of beauty and collectability. 

Come think through some of the reasonings so you are better informed and fully committed for your silver bullion product choices.

January 2026 will be remembered as a shock month for precious metals, delivering silver’s best performance in decades and volatility that caught even veteran market watchers off guard. Silver 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 from its peak. By Friday afternoon, January 30, prices bottom just below $75 per ounce, marking one of the most brutal daily corrections in silver’s trading history. Gold and the broader precious-metals complex were swept into the chaos as well, with massive upside and downside moves packed into a single week. Silver surged, then crashed in dramatic fashion—watch the video to understand what unfolded last week behind the price action.

Silver just delivered one of its most volatile weeks on record, surging decisively above $100 per ounce as physical demand overwhelmed paper pricing. The move confirms this rally is being driven by tight supply and real-world buying, not speculative leverage. Gold is right behind it, finishing the week just shy of $5,000 per ounce, underscoring the strength of the broader precious metals bull market. At the same time, a clear divergence is opening between the U.S. and Chinese silver markets, with China showing shrinking inventories and persistently higher premiums. Watch the video to get fully up to speed on the forces driving this historic metals bull run—and why global price discovery is increasingly shifting east.
