Hello to all the Metals and Markets listeners and viewers out there.
The gold and silver markets thus far this week have been moving mostly sideways even as trade discussions with China seem to be breaking down and the threat of increased tariffs a very realistic and soon possibility.
I am traveling this Friday, May 10th, 2019 and consequently, this week's interview got recorded a few days prior on Wednesday, May 8th, 2019.
The silver spot price is trading just $15 oz while the gold spot price is hovering around the $1,284 oz level in fiat Federal Reserve notes.
The gold-silver ratio is still historically high hovering around the 86 level at the moment.
This week we are welcoming a first-time guest to the show, a man with multiple decades of investing experience and documentation of the precious metals markets, Mr. Ed Steer.
Ed has been an outspoken critic of the precious metals price discovery complex and commercial bank concentration. His comments on the ongoing Department of Justice prosecution of ex-JP Morgan precious metals traders is worthy of your ears.
