The Silver Squeeze Has Officially Begun

by Jesse Colombo, Silver Seek:

For the past several weeks, I’ve been writing about an imminent silver breakout that could quickly push prices to $50. During this time, I’ve observed significant investor cynicism, as many grew frustrated with silver’s sideways movement over the last five months.

I encouraged investors to remain confident, as I believed silver was on the brink of a historic bull market. Sure enough, on Friday, what began as a typical day saw silver surge nearly 7%, meeting the criteria I had outlined to confirm the next phase of its bull market.

Breakout in Silver

by Gary Savage, Gold Seek:

General rule, breakouts will happen when the least amount of people are expecting it.

I’ve mentioned the cancellation index before, it’s kind of a proprietary tool. It’s nothing really special. It’s just the amount of people that are getting frustrated and canceling their subscriptions and this always peaks right before a big move.

For Gold

So, that cancellation index, obviously it spiked right in here; this is where the cartel really died. They’re not dead, but they’re just not going to be able to suppress price to an integrated extent anymore. They tried multiple times here to drive gold back below $2000, but failed to do it.

A COMEX Silver Issue

by Craig Hemke, Sprott Money:

Just last week, the spot and COMEX price for gold broke out of its recent trading range and surged to new all-time highs. However, to the frustration of many, the spot and COMEX price for silver remains well below its highs of last May. What’s the deal? The answer may be found in the recent Commitment of Traders data.

Analysis of price trends for the COMEX metals involves myriad variables. One of those variables to consider is the current structure of the CFTC-issued Commitment of Traders report. Historically, a smallish Speculator net long position and a smallish Commercial net short position can clear the way for a price rally. Conversely, an overextended and large Speculator net long position often precedes a selloff and pullback in price.

Five Tries and Out

by Craig Hemke, Sprott Money:

After selling off early last week, the COMEX gold price held critical support and then began to rally. As the new week begins, it begs the question: Could this fifth attempt at a breakout above $2500 finally lead to a new surge higher in price?

We’ll try to answer that question in a minute, but let’s start this week where we left off last week. On August 5, almost all global markets were sharply lower as concerns over the Japanese yen carry trade unwind drove immediate liquidity demands. COMEX gold and silver were hit hard, and though prices had fallen almost precisely to the areas we were expecting, it was pretty hard to pull the trigger on any new buy orders. If you missed last week’s post, I encourage you to read it now.

Silver Demand in the Solar Sector Could Squeeze Silver Supply in the Future

by Mike Maharrey, Silver Seek:

Silver use by the solar energy sector is one of the primary factors driving the overall demand for silver, and there is reason to believe photovoltaic silver off-take will continue to increase in the years ahead.

Not only is the demand for silver panels growing, but the amount of silver used in each panel is also increasing.

Industrial demand for silver set a record of 654.4 million ounces in 2023 and it is expected to hit new highs this year. According to the Silver Institute, ongoing structural gains from green economy applications underpinned this surge in silver demand.

Gold & Silver Get Slammed on Positive Economic Reports

by Mike Gleason, Silver Seek:

Gold has been the headline performer in the first half of the year – breaking records and commanding attention. But in the second half of 2024, silver may be set to steal the show.

Silver has been quietly outperforming gold since February. Silver prices surged to an 11-year high last month.

The junior monetary metal still has a long way to go in order to reach a new all-time high above $49 an ounce. Even if it doesn’t achieve that feat in 2024, it could still set a new record for a year-end closing price.

Shanghai silver closed today at $34.53.

The Questions CFTC and Fed Won’t Answer Expose Gold Price Suppression Policy

by Chris Powell, Gold Seek:

If mainstream financial news organizations ever work up the courage to report honestly about monetary gold, the commanding heights of the issue will have been mapped out for them by U.S. Rep. Alex X. Mooney, R-West Virginia.

After all, where can investigative journalism start better than with questions that already have been shown to be too politically sensitive for the highest government officials to answer, even when a member of Congress is asking?

Thanks to Mooney, in 2020 the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission was shown refusing to answer whether it has jurisdiction over manipulative trading in the commodity futures markets when such trading is undertaken by or at the behest of the U.S. government:
